Abstract/Contents:Discusses the state of sports fields in 2007, stating that "commentators have ripped football fields [in the 2007] season." Suggests that "when a field fails, it's a slap in the face to all [field managers]." States that "when [field managers] meet at the conferences, [they] should seek out those with the best fields and find out what they're doing." Concludes that "the news coverage has exposed many within the sports industry that have lost a lot of the honesty and integrity in the game...[Sports field managers] need to...ask [themselves] if there is anything else [they] can do to improve [their] fields...That's what distinguishes a great field from a mediocre one."
