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:
“Lie lightly on her, turf and dew:
She put so little weight on you.”
—Marcus Valerius Martial (c. 40–104)
“The little toy dog is covered with dust,
But sturdy and stanch he stands;
And the little toy soldier is red with rust,
And the musket moulds in his hands.
Time was when the little toy dog was new,
And the soldier was passing fair;
And that was the time when our Little Boy Blue
Kissed them and put them there.”
—Eugene Field (1850–1895)
