FieldTurf DoublePlay Classic
takes center stage on Sunday
Wesley Wolverines will not be playing on dirt for this Sunday's first game of the season. Of course, they will not be indoors, either.
Instead, Wolverine spikes will be gripping a “FieldTurf DoublePlay Classic” synthetic field, which has been dubbed “ industry-leading engineering”. Its surface was installed from 2011-12 and completely covers the infield and outfield at the Gallaudet softball complex.

The Gallaudet University Bisons made this renovation as part of a move toward creating a world-class venue for improving recruiting and retention levels, decreasing games canceled by rain, and establishing a superior field for use in other endeavors.
The FieldTurf has been praised as being a covering that looks and feels real, while enjoying the benefits of significantly reduced water consumption as well as the environmental-friendly elimination of fertilizer and pesticides.
Gallaudet softball complex is perfectly symmetrical, extending 190’ down the lines and 202’ in straightaway center field. There's also a 20’-wide scoreboard and a double-pitcher bullpen. In the future, plans are to add sport lights, dugouts, a concession stand and a press box.
These first games of the season for both teams are on Sunday, February 23, at 12:00 noon and 2:00 PM at the Gallaudet University softball complex, 800 Florida Avenue NE, Washington, DC 20002 .
