The question was asked today, how long would the synthetic turf field they want to build (at a cost of $900,000) last?
The answer (which blew me away) was 12 YEARS - that's right ... We wouldn't even finish PAYING for it before it would have to be replaced ... again!
The other fun issue is how much this field would "save" in maintenance. Obviously, the football field must be a very significant size area that they wouldn't have to maintain ... Let's check with a picture they provided of the area....
Yep .. that little section labeled "2" would not have to be mowed and seeded ... wow. Let's not forget there are more fields at the top of this diagram that are cut off, as well as the entire middle school grounds!
Huge savings there folks...
