I had no idea that facility was still pretty much the same as when I was playing for CSM 1988-91. I assumed (incorrectly) some kind of renovation had happened in the 30+ years since. Better late than never, I suppose...

Its a fine field. Regulation, well watered, the works. Does Pueblo even have water with all their turf?
"Does Pueblo even have water with all their turf"... I'm really not even sure what you're trying to say here. Also, I couldn't care any less about Pueblo at this point, you do realize that yeah? If you didn't, now you do. However, the entire state of Colorado really doesn't have water at this point, perhaps turf is the better idea.

Chadron had better grass
The field at Western might not have been trashed for the Kearney game last year but more years than not it’s a mess with terrible footing by November
I always preferred playing on grass fields but unless you have the resources and weather to maintain it properly, turf is better. It saves money and knees/ankles. I’m just happy Pueblo fixed their turf and put the correct color blue on the field the second time.

There's more water in Gunnison with snow melt than most places in the RMAC(maybe Durango). Granted that's changing with Lake Powell and Lake Mead demanding more. Anyways it's a drag to have a geology alum that's never played on the field be able to change one of the more iconic stadiums in the state with turf. It's not a better idea. It's selling out and ruining something already great with money.

GOOD grass fields are plenty safe. Western's fields was not good and I'm not sure how one can honestly have seen a nice grass field and compare it to Western and think they're near the same. This isn't a slight to Western, it's just not a good field.
