Who Gets Muscle Shoals' Old Astro Turf?

 

After yesterday's blog, we had several ask the disposition of the "old" Astro Turf being ripped up from the Muscle Shoals High School football field. This is all we know at this point:

How long was the current turf guaranteed for? A former member of the BOE has stated it was marketed as lasting at least 20 years and is now around nine years old.

How much will the replacement cost?

What will happen to the current turf? We have no idea, but welcome any answers from those who do.

Why didn't the BOE use the money for a baseball field or to hire a competent baseball coach? Again, we don't know the board's reasoning. We do know, as should any one with any ability to use their brain, that the baseball coach, staff, athletic director, or superintendent have NO right to complain at this point. The school had funds to go a long way to the much NEEDED field, but chose instead to replace nine-year old artificial grass on the football field.
