I'm not sure there would be any cost savings at all...



Here is a quote from a Herald Online article from 2008 about the introduction of field turf at Rock Hill's District Three Stadium.

"If two fields each were completely redone -- one with artificial turf and one with grass -- the turf field would cost about $256,000 less at the end of a 10-year period, according to figures from the Rock Hill school district."

I guess the question here is: Would the Lex. District 5 grass fields have to be completely redone anyway if they did not install the field turf?
