New Artificial Turf Installed at Mocs Frost Stadium

Chattanooga-(WDEF-TV) The dirt and grass is gone from Frost Stadium. New artificial turf has been installed at the home of the Chattanooga Mocs softball team, as well as LED lights.

UTC will play on the new surface this Saturday as they host UNCG. Head coach Frank Reed is digging the new field.

Said Reed:”Yeah you are going to get more true bounce.The pitchers. The mound is raised just a tad, so you are going to still get the pitch off. You’re not going to dig the hole. It’s a little softer there. The turf is laid in there with a velcro type thing, so once it wears, they just come in and pull it out. The velcro. Put another piece down. But this is going to be perfect for Chattanooga and the softball community. It’s a new field, and everybody is going to want to get out here and test it out.”
