How much water is needed for this field?
Have you ever wondered how much grass is at a Major League Baseball stadium? We did and found the answer.
The average professional baseball field will use around 100,000 square feet of turf (~2.25 acres), which will need approximately 62,500* gallons of water per week (under normal watering schedule of 1″/week). This is equivalent to the amount of water 89 homes will use in the same amount of time.
Can we justify using drinking water to irrigate grass for our national pastime?
Thinking of re-landscaping? Use mulch to cover bare spots on the ground.
