It appears that K-State has not been overly pleased with the AstroTurf product.    There was a bit of a to-do when K-State replaced the FieldTurf (which was their first design/model) with AstroTurf's product.   That started looking like hot garbage in a short period of time, of course it didn't help that K-State practiced on it all the time, and drove tractor trailers over it.    So they put in a new AstroTurf fake grass design/model three or four years later and put in the AstroTurf baseball fake grass in TFS. 

Now they're dumping all of it for FieldTurf, including FieldTurf's designed specifically for baseball product in TFS.

So is this going to be the 3rd new field since the genesis of this thread for the design of the first?

We’ve come so far.

Yes, we used to take everything up to the end of its useful life and even beyond and now we're changing out fields in five years or less.

Is there a site that is showing progress on the practice facility and other construction projects?

I'm so out of touch of when these things occur.  That looks to be it.

The footprint of that indoor field doesn't see as big as I thought I'd be. It doesn't even look close to 120 yards. I'm sure it's an optical illusion.

I'm fairly sure that's only half the length of the building

Ah, makes sense. I've never seen a glorified pole barn being built, in my mind, the whole frame goes up at once.

an actual pole barn is a step up from a metal building, imo

Given delivery times on pick a thing, this probably was the "best" option
