I like the red infield turf compared to the dark brown we had previously. Goes better with our school colors. Facility looks great!

I really like that the Ragin Cajuns logo in center field is “shaved” into the turf and not actually painted. They did a really good job.

Is the mound turf too? If so, doesn't seem like the pitchers would like pitching off of it.
Re: New Russo Park Field Turf
Looks damn sharp. We have a killer facility that just keeps getting better. Missed opportunity to embed the silhouette of the State of Louisiana behind that stacked, block logo. I hope the sound system gets some tlc as well. And the little baby American Flag in center has become damn near invisible.

With all the shiny new turfed sports complexes these kids grew up with they have to be used to it by now.

I sure hope it has been. I didn't understand why it wasn't fixed last year!

Rest assured that the players we have coming in now have way more pitches than you would imagine from an artificial turf mound. My boys are 22 and 25 and they are of the age where probably over 60% of their mound time was from an artificial turf mound. High schools and travel ball complexes have been going to these because there is no mound maintenance and they can continue games for a much longer time period when the weather does not cooperate. So, we will be fine. And I’d there is a slight issue, because we will be practicing from that type of mound, it may even create a slight home field advantage.

I was always a catcher growing up so wouldnt really know but do your boys have any issues going back and forth from dirt to turf or is pretty easy adjustment?

They no longer play but they did not.
Re: New Russo Park Field Turf
As a reliever in JUCO my son LOVED turf mounds! He didn’t have to worry about other pitchers stride length and could count on a stable, consistent surface.
Also, pitchers don’t have to do mound rebuilds between double headers and postgame.
Re: New Russo Park Field Turf
Little known info. ;)
The water hose was located under the dirt pitchers mound

Some pitchers have been so aggressive on the mound it almost took a mound rebuild after every inning, which does not happen and had to be pitched through. That is no longer a worry.
