Re: GADESRULE Memorial Stadium? 


NCoast would know more about this than I, but I was a bit skeptical of the maintenance costs they quoted in the article - $70,000 per year for grass as opposed to $10,000 for turf.  Close to $6,000 per month to maintain grass?  I just don’t see it.  I guess it’s like most things, when you start paying out the costs – they do add up……but $6,000 per month?  Bermuda is dormant a good share of the year.    


And to Diablos – Mt SAC really does have to do something with their field.  By playoff time any grass in the center of the field is almost non-existent.  I guess because SAC practices on it.  BC’s was the same way by the end of the year when they played more HS games up there.  How are things progressing with the MS proposed improvements?

How in the hell can you spend $ 6,000 per month to maintain a grass field ??? I could irrigate 300 acres of cotton for less at the old farm site in Bakersfield........ You mow the field 2x per week ??? even 4x per week with a salaried employee.......... I could mow the field in less than 2hrs................ Whats the cost of putting in a turf field ???? 2 mill ???
