A proper grass field will be graded to have the center line of the field slightly higher than the outside edges to provide proper drainage of rainfall off the field and not have puddles in the middle of the field. Artificial turf is graded flat with a drainage system constructed under the turf. Evidently baseball fields are graded flat with no provisions for drainage...thus puddles in the middle of the playing area.mrydel wrote:So what happens if we replace artificial turf with real grass (good chance we do) and it rains on game day. Should we forfeit?

SMU's first president, Robert S. Hyer, selected Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue as SMU's colors to symbolize SMU's high academic standards. We are one of the few Universities to have school colors with real meaning...and we just blow them off.

A lot of MLB stadiums have vacuum systems to drain the field. That’s why a lot of games still play in the rain.
