It cant be done in Gallatin. There are 6 or more teams that use that field for their primary field. There are anywhere from 100 to 150 games played on that field each year. I seriously doubt Lebanon allows teams to use their field that way. With so many teams using that field, there is way too much of a chance of screwing up. If you tarp it when it rains on Saturday- somebody better be there on Sunday to take it off. One screw up and your infield is toast in the summer. Believe me, we have tried it. We played on a yellow infield for two weeks

I certainly appreciate the kind words for our Parks dept. Wavegrad, Storm, and Redsman. Anthony Thompson does the majority of the work on that field now. The Braves would be glad to have him.

Ive been around Gallatin all of my life. I would like to clear the Parks and Rec department of any wrong doing at all. They would have fixed the field. As already stated, there were rec games going on all day. There was a softball tournament going on at the park next to the baseball fields. They have over 20 fields to keep up and they do a great job. The Parks and Rec had nothing to do with Prom. As far as a tarp goes, have you ever put one on a field? It takes 20 to 25 people to do it. I dont know about your cities budget, but I doubt it allows for a 25 man crew at the Parks dept.
