BLOOMINGTON, IND. — Indiana University Softball has upgraded its home field, Andy Mohr Field, with a new AstroTurf Diamond Series outfield. This synthetic surface replaces the traditional grass outfield to better withstand the variable Midwest spring weather, enhancing the field's consistency, durability, and reducing maintenance needs. The new turf is designed to efficiently drain and maintain its playing characteristics through heavy use, allowing the team to focus more on competition rather than field upkeep.

The AstroTurf Diamond Series system replicates the feel and performance of natural grass, providing consistent ball movement for outfielders. This installation complements Indiana's existing AstroTurf surface at Bart Kaufman Field for baseball, reflecting a tailored approach to meet the distinct demands of each sport. The synthetic outfield reduces the need for mowing and irrigation, offering greater flexibility during the busy Big Ten schedule and supporting the athletes with a reliable playing surface.
