The last year Montgomery County had grass (I think 3 years ago), the field was gone by mid season. It was a very rainy Fall and half the season was played in mud. We love our new turf field.

The cost to maintain a grass field probably varies from school to school. Some fields are nothing more than a cow pasture with stripes and field goal posts. Other schools go all out with perfectly manicured fields with special grass. I have also seen schools that contract out the maintenance of all sports fields.

 

Which schools?

Ryle had bermuda grass it was very high maintenance expensive seeding each spring heavy use of nitrogen to keep it growing nobody could use the field in the spring, 1st frost it went dormate (brown) overseeding with rye grass after it went dormate and almost after every game The field got heavy use varsity football and soccer by october it was a mess. One heavy rain and a football game and it was a mess before october. gave the guys taking care of it fits.
