What high schools use an artificial turf field for football/soccer in Wisconsin?
Some use a 'city' facility and some have their own high school artificial/turf field.
Just wondering who/how many have them.
I'm aware of Hartland Arrowhead and Sun Prairie that I am certain of.
I think Hart Park (in Tosa) and maybe Sauk Prairie have one.
Not sure of any others.
They don't have access to one at the school district (a Division One) I live in.
I know Rice Lake and Cumberland have artificial turf, thanks to private donations.
Waaayyyy more schools than you would think, Tom.

Wow!
Approximately over 100 schools have access to, or have their own 'home turf' field.
Baldwin-Woodville will have turf for the 2021 season.
Yes alot of schools have turf now and some are really nice also. Hudson's football stadium has to be one of the nicest in the state. Osceola field is very nice also. Does Stanley-boyd get turf also in the past year or 2?
Sheesh. I would have predicted 5-10 high schools. Holy cow!
Yes, I am surprised at what I consider a large number of 'turf' surfaces.
I think Catholic Memorial plays at Carroll College, not sure how that counts other than they do in fact play on turf

Yes, thought it was over 2 years already...
Shoot, we just got grass two years ago. Had to dodge the thistles back in the day.

South Milwaukee was that tough back in the day?
Or was it the chaddyshacks grounds keeper type of grass?

Cashton now. Used to be cow ruts and thistle, and a moat for out of bounds. Now, pure green grass, NOT grown by Carl the greenskeeper. Now, he could market his "blend" legally.

I was always the kid that found it in the pool and ate it. "It's no big deal." One of 'em didn't taste sweet at all, though. Chlorine must have washed the sugar out of it. Yeah, dat's it.
When I retire I want to cut the one grass football field That is left in our area, wherever that may be.

Probably have to take a part-time job with the school district's maintenance department... unless you just sneak onto the field with your mower some night. ;)
