    I get what you're saying and the only way to get the payoff is to increase usage. There are only so many ways to use a rectangle field. Baseball/softball doesn't get full use of it. Teams that want to practice on it are forced to split the fields or have later than usual practice times. If a...

    You are 100% correct. The underlying issue is, can that additional savings on capital dollars be spent on other things that have a greater impact to academics, athletics, or the community. The answer will be different from district to district.

    No weekends. Mowing and Blowing Off Clippings - 3 hours per week Filling Divots and Spot Seeding - 1.5 hours per week Painting - 8 man hours per week So almost 33% of a normal work week in season is spent on field related tasks. 71 events is definitely a lot. The number of events on the...

    No, it's for real. I did the math and watched it play out over the last 10 years. Synthetic is a loser financially up until you put about 1,500 hours of use per year on it. There are qualitative arguments to make for it's use but, there are only a few dozen places in the state it makes sense...

    Here's a field that had a very similar "before" picture and cost less 60% less than what they are trying to fundraise. This is North Union HS in Richwood. Yet another in Circleville that was almost 85% less than what Tuslaw is trying to fundraise. End of the Season down the middle...

    Mount Gilead, North Union, Fairbanks, off the top of my head. Pickerington uses a GPS painter on a UTV with autosteer. They still have some limitations, but overall, they are a game-changer. I think the best bet is a blend between the robot for yard lines and side lines, with numbers and hashes...
