Don't know if true but I saw somewhere that the turf is on a concrete surface which was normal in the 1900s when installed. So if you get that concrete up, then what's under the concrete is solid rock. Don't know how far you would have to go down to bring in fill dirt but even then, drainage would likely be quite poor.

that's the baseball field.

DKR has been grass before. Turf came in 2008 or so. It's going back to grass next year.

Texas A&M replaced their astroturf field with natural grass.

It can be done.

Texas used to have grass in their stadium but if I remember correctly they had a lot of issues with it!

They play on playground grass. They built their kindergarten playgrounds in Austin the same time they turfed the fields.
