It was that long ago when they still had Astroturf.
So that photo must've been taken in 08, as home games in the 07 season were played in Dell Diamond while Disch Falk was being renovated and 09 was the first year they had their current type turf (which was reinstalled in 2016).

For the record, I'm not a fan of turf, nor is a large portion of the fanbase. But I guess I get it for maintenance purposes.

Supposedly, both football and baseball fields will be moving to natural surfaces in the coming years.

Thank god for football. It's been an eyesore most of the seasons since turf was installed in 2009

I thought I liked the turf when we had it for a while but when they switched back to grass for football I felt like an idiot. Grass looks and plays so much better. Plus it’s not 1000 degrees radiating off rubber cooking everyone close to the field
