I am truly glad that we are finally getting new astro-turf. The Rays have needed it for a while now and it was rather worn out looking. I can't say how the field felt under foot but I can say it looked like downtrodden carpet from anyplace in the Trop. I can imagine that there will be some changes in the physics of the balls when they hit it and in how the players adjust to those odd bounces or hops. But I believe it is a well deserved upgrade from what has been played on in the past.
From a Fans perspective since I am not involved in anything on the field I can only hope for that new shiny aspect of having a Bright Center field logo and a uniform color grass when viewed from TV or in person.
Way to go Rays! Hope this is a sign of the good things to come this season and hopefully we can take advantage of the changes in physics that it produces.
