Talk:RE/MAX Field

message: This needs to be updated.  Before the Cracker Cats took up residence, the original artificial turf was replaced with the new-style (field-turfesque, but not field turf) turf.
Does anyone know exactly when the Astroturf was replaced with Field Turf? I don't really like it saying "recently replaced" since that's not as strong as stating the year it was replaced.  --Nechevo (talk) 19:57, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Turf type 

message: The reason for Telus Field having an artificial grass infield wasn't because the northern winter makes it too difficult to grow infield grass. John Deucy Park/Renfrew Park didn't have much problem growing it's infield grass.  The reason I heard from Park officials/press statements was because the artificial turf was cheaper to maintain than real grass, and the turf allowed them to use a drainage system which drained water much quicker. I can't remember the exact stats but the new drainage system could drain the infield in an hour or two what would have taken at least a day for real greass.  So the main reason for the articifical infield was the potential of fewer rainouts due to a much quicker draining infield. 
I'll try to find the time to track down some Trappers programs around the time Telus Field opened to see if they mentioned the reasoning behidn the artificial infield.   Or perhaps i'll try to find Kowalchuk's E-mail and just ask him. Although i'm not sure how to cite either one.  --Nechevo 05:29, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Infield Turf 

message: I am wondering why you replaced "To minimize damage to the infield when concerts are held at the stadium" with "and because there are many concerts being played at the stadium". I am not sure the new sentence is an improvement. It is less precise than the previous version. How many concerts would need to be played at Telus field in order for there to be considered "many concerts"?  2, 3 a  year or more than 6? Just how many concerts are held at Telus Field every year? I don't recall any in the last few years so i'm not sure if "many concerts" is accurate. Also isn't the point of that sentence to explain infield turf is used because it's less likely to be damaged than grass would be for when concerts are played at Telus field? So I think the "to minimize damage to the infield..." sentence is better, but perhaps there are reasons for the new sentence that I am not seeing.  --Nechevo (talk) 06:58, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
