Assume the field turf is covering the whole field except the infield. Assume up-to-date scoreboards, bleachers, netting, dugouts, and fencing. Assume the drainage system on the turf should be fast from the field but slow into the surrounding areas as these fields will be in environmentally sensitive areas. Our small city wants to build softball fields to attract league tournaments and tourism.

Our council has developed a budget of $600,000 for each field. I believe that is way too high even with the finest of everything and including astroturf. Thank you for any well thought out answers.
