I have accounted for all but 6 schools in the state of Indiana (Attucks, Fremont, Prairie Heights, Eastside, Tindley, and Shortridge). 11 schools don't have their own field, so they were thrown out of the equation all together. (Ev Memorial, Cathedral, Ev Mater Dei, Covenant Christian, SB Wash, FW Snider, Chatard, Ritter, Luers, Boone Grove, Scecina) 97% of 6A turf 72% of 5A turf 58% of 4A turf 28% of 3A turf 21% of 2A turf 8% of 1A turf 122/302 schools overall. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Crown Point Chesterton Carroll Carmel Avon BD LC Center Grove 32 Total Lake Central Penn Homestead Westfield Brownsburg Tech WC CN 31 Turf Merrillville Portage Noblesville HSE Pike Perry Meridian LN CE 1 Not Turf Laf Jeff Valpo Warsaw Fishers Zionsville Southport North Central Franklin Cent 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 LaPorte Concord FW BD Anderson Decatur Cent Franklin Bloom South BNL 33 Michigan City Elk Central FW Snider Laf Harrison Plainfield New Pal Bloom North FC 23 Mishawaka Elk Memorial FW Northrop Kokomo TH North Seymour Castle NA 9 Munster Goshen FW NS McCutheon TH South Whiteland Ev North Jeff 1 No home field SB Adams 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 East Chicago Culver Angola Delta Connersville Beech Grove East Central Boonville 63 Gary WS Kankakee Valley Columbia City FW SS Greenfield Central Frankfort Greenwood Jasper 34 Griffith Logansport DeKalb FW Wayne Mt.

POTLUCK Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I do not believe that Guerin has a turf field. They have Bremuda grass not artificial turf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their Lacrosse/Soccer Field has turf, but the football field is Bermuda Grass. Absolutely beautifully maintained grass, I might add. Looks just like turf on film.

Dwenger is getting theirs built without the aforementioned “siphoning.” Also, Prairie Hts, Fremont, and Eastside are all grass surfaces. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SenatorFan Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 I have a question, observed this thread since it's inception. Like the graph and the info, very interesting. The original post said it was for a discussion point. What was the point? Pro-turf vs. Pro Grass? Turf injuries vs. Grass injuries? What are we discussing? 6A can afford turf better than 1A? Just wondering. Not being negative, just as a fan wondering how we will use this info or is it something that is of value as a coach?

He is trying to convince his school board to get turf. Other than that it was out of my own curiosity.

This is exactly why I posed the first question! We are trying to convince our school corp, and School board, as to why we want/need To move to an artificial surface! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My opinion is you can't justify the initial cash outlay. Consider it a capital improvement, much like renovating/new construction of a facility. Once it is installed, maintenance/replacement is justifiable. From what we have seen from early adopters, the surface itself will last 10-12 years. With the cost associated with surface replacement it is cost effective if you're spending anything at all in maintenance on your grass surface.

So those are all I can confirm. Oh, and Pioneer is grass....the reason we had to play the semi-state 2 years ago at Logan instead of Pioneer...not that it mattered LOL Pioneer plays in a swamp.
