From the transcript
I understand it is being used for baseball practice, But I remember Dr. LeDoux stating that this was a temporary offer made some 15 years ago and was never rescinded. So acknowledging that folks do use that, I'm prioritizing the needs of the community over a practice field when there's numerous ball fields teams can practice on. I'm thinking about growing up in all the different sports I played. I never had a practice field for football, soccer, or baseball. Not ideal as far as wear and tear, but I would say baseball, if any of the sports, is the least amount of wear on a surface out of any of them.
