When it was announced here that the Diamondbacks would be installing a new turf field at Chase Field, we were largely in the dark as to how it might actually look, feel, and play. After all it is a brand new surface, not yet installed in any MLB park.
As reported by Zach Buchanan, the team did send some front office personnel to Auburn University where the turf had been installed, and also sent some players from Visalia to a park in California where the surface had been installed to field some ground balls.
