Do-Now On-Field Renovation and Facility Upgrades

Ways to get the most out this unique time

THE ULTIMATE BALLFIELD RESOURCE | Beacon Athletics


While there are plenty of unsettling aspects with this ongoing public health crisis, one potential silver lining to the downtime could be the opportunity to move ahead with on-field renovation or facility projects. This extended time with no one using your fields presents a chance to do things that are difficult, or impossible, to accomplish during the season. That usually means working on these projects in the fall or early spring.

With fall timing running up against the calendar and cold weather, and spring timing facing an already lengthy to-do list with practices and games looming, these projects often fall to the wayside as time marches on.
Below are suggestions for ways you can take advantage of no one being on your fields.

On-Field Renovation Projects

There are projects that often get shelved as teams hit the fields and practices & games begin. With no one on your fields, you not only have time, you have outstanding weather as well. Your opportunity to make a unique difference on your ballfield is right now. There are plenty of how-tos and videos in our blog and at GroundskeeperU.com.

Facility Upgrades

Another area of opportunity is with your facility in general. Projects that would typically need to wait until fall are now possible while your leagues and games have been paused. Things like backstop netting enhance the fan experience and can put you in a better position than ever to mitigate the inherent risk to spectators with errant foul balls and line drives.

But it’s more than netting, there’s opportunity all over the facility:
