Montera should get a new field because behind the dugout there are really big holes.
If you are running and not paying attention, you can really hurt yourself. If you’re running on the field, you have to pay attention because the grass is uneven and there are lumps in the grass which can cause you to fall. There is a big hole by the dirt for the baseball field that looks just like grass that is very dangerous.
The field only gets maintained every once in a while and that is during baseball season. The track is dirt and when it rains, it turns into slippery mud, which is very dangerous. During baseball season they mow the lawn, clean the baseball dirt, fix the holes and clean the goose poop.
We feel like it needs to be maintained more often because it’s not fair for the soccer team or anybody at all because it only gets done for the baseball team but needs to be for everybody.
Ms. Ligons said “I really don’t know but new paint and dirt maybe costs about $10,000-35,000.”
Mr. Ford said “I believe a turf field at Montera would cost up to $150,000 or more.”
If we were able to get a new field, we should get turf, a clay track, new dirt for the baseball field, level the grass and repaint some stuff.
The Matador sports editor, Devika Kofoed said, “ There have been way too many injuries on the field concerning the potholes. It’s actually sad seeing my friends come in with ankle braces like they are in their fifties.”
