Artificial turf surfaces?


Recommended Posts

Does anyone know if there is a list of large schools (4A,5A,6A schools) that have turf or are installing it in the next few years? Trying to gather some information for discussion point.

4A KV just installed a rug and the stadium should be ready for this fall.

MAAAAAAAAAAYBE Highland?  They are getting a new surface, just don't know if it is rug  or not.

We are at about 80 schools with field turf for those classes. There are 64 in 6A and 5A total... and 62 in 4A. 127 total schools. I took Bosse off the list since they dropped to 3A. 

Plus Cathedral and Eville Memoerial don't count because they don't have their own home field... who else shares a field?

Those that have grass: Castle (astonishing), Jeffersonville, Madison, Silver Creek, South Dearborn... who else?

Evansville Memorial and Evansville Mater Dei (2A) both have field turf on their practice fields at both schools, but they play their home games at different locations that have field turf as well.

I know. I'm trying to come up with how many 4-6A teams have turf though. Memorial doesn't apply here.

Why would Memorial not apply here?

Because it's not their field? I mean I'm not knocking them for it. I loved the atmosphere at Bosse when we played them last year. 

I would just take them and Cathedral out of the mix all together. So instead 127 teams in those classes there would be 125 teams(assuming those are the only two) when we are talking about teams with fields that have turf.

Memorial has their own practice field that is an artificial turf surface.

Yeah that's already been mentioned and has nothing to do with what we're talking about.

So are there any smaller schools (1A - 3A) with turf?

Brownstown, Lawrenceburg, Southridge, Triton Central, Danville, Heritage Christian all have turf.
