It's been ten years since I attended a game at DB. But the home team does have an advantage there. Not sure what the current state of the field is, though.

I keep hearing they eventually want to convert field to turf and get a softer track instead of concrete we got now but both are gonna require money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If well maintained, it adds an old school touch that I like. Plus, turf is not as kind on the environment, and as a leftie (at least on this board), environmental concerns are important.
