Ex-Superior Town Manager to Be Honored With Fake Grass

I like to think I'm often more pragmatic than idealistic, however I can't really get past the idea of fake grass for ballfields as opposed to regular grass and dirt. More maintenance and irrigation costs, I know. But it's REAL. Feels real, smells real after a rain, makes cool green stains when you make a dive on a play.

This week the Superior Observer describes how a new synthetic grass field at Community Park is being rolled out, and it will be named Williams Field in honor of Bruce Williams, the former long-time Town Manager who died in a car accident in December. Great idea; too bad he couldn't be honored with something that grows instead of plastic.
