Rangers choose artificial grass surface. 22 comments

Yes, it is. I know that this will not be a popular decision, but in the DMN article on the matter, I learned that the groundskeepers had some trouble growing grass at a few spots on the current field. That article was very informative. I was strongly opposed to using turf. I’m not anymore. But, they big question is how the players feel. If they give it a bad review, we will not be seeing FAs coming to Texas, which was a huge factor in building the new ballpark. In other words, to eliminate one problem, they would have created another. Let’s hope the players brag on it! Otherwise, Arlington wasted a ton of money.
