MLB was down to just two fields just a few years ago (Tampa Bay and Toronto) but now are back up again to 5. [1] Turf isn't all the same though. What Toronto had 30 years ago vs what they have now is a world of difference. Texas put in turf for their new stadium a few years ago -- and it has to be the current best practice. Toronto looked at getting 'real grass' and just found out that it wasn't feasible at all. (They did spend $660k CAD to at least investigate it via the University of Guelph)[2] Grass fields must have tons of variation -- especially as the year goes on or different growing conditions. It would be amazing to have some sort of transparent consistency across fields.
