And I never said that they shouldn't have one. Would the Mustangs be excited to see field turf at Dan Hooks? Absolutely. Would Coach Thompson like to see it? Of course. Heck, I would like to see it. But the more that you post, especially with the labeling of programs that don't play on turf backwards and archaic, the more I am convinced that the justification for the proliferation of artificial turf fields comes down to the turf field becoming a status symbol. That may meet your definition of a legitimate reason to install field turf, but it doesn't meet mine. And to label a community that doesn't have such a field as a community that doesn't love or is unappreciative of it's young athletes is simply ridiculous (and, by the way, is much more Clinton or Sanders-like than anything else here). A friend of mine has asked me to compile a list of SETXsports schools who play on natural grass similar to that one I did for artificial turf and I am getting that together right now. Who knows, it may bolster your case...in fact, it probably will.
