Thin turf at that. Unless they have updated it.
Its a bit different than the ball fields at myrtle.

unless they have updated it, it's flat from pushing sleds on it in practice

Tom Knotts does what he wants. I would imagine if they tore up the field with it, they would buy him another one the moment he asked.

I wouldn't either but before a scrimmage a few years ago, they had to move the sleds off the field. From a distance the turf looks fine but it's flat and laying down

still both teams play on the same surface

Wan doe field looks flat from the start.
Charleston county got reamed on that new stadium .22 or 23 million .johnston iowa paid 9 million
For a simular facility. I have failed to see where the extra 13 million or so went.

Doubt we will have turf anytime soon.
It's not wanted at this time.
