| Note: | "A reader recently asked us what is considered a safe degree of hardness for an athletic field. In addition, he wanted to know how hardness is measured. So we asked Dr. Andrew McNitt, a Penn State researcher who has worked extensively on the subject of field hardness. McNitt supplied the following information."
