Turf Field
On August 17, 2009, the Hinsdale Township High School District 86 Board of Education voted to install artificial fields at both schools in the district. The new field is said to be of better quality than ordinary fields and may be safer as well. Central Coach Skipper Begley noted how the artificial field would allow for more practice out of the year, because bad weather often hinders practice. There have also been plans to erect an inflatable dome over the turf field in September 2009, but as of now, such plans have not gone into effect.
The turf field was completed over summer 2010, the last class to graduate on "Old" Dickinson Field being the class of 2010.

Famous quotes containing the words turf and/or field:
“One turf shall serve as pillow for us both;
One heart, one bed, two bosoms, and one troth.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“I don’t like comparisons with football. Baseball is an entirely different game. You can watch a tight, well-played football game, but it isn’t exciting if half the stadium is empty. The violence on the field must bounce off a lot of people. But you can go to a ball park on a quiet Tuesday afternoon with only a few thousand people in the place and thoroughly enjoy a one-sided game. Baseball has an aesthetic, intellectual appeal found in no other team sport.”
—Bowie Kuhn (b. 1926)
