AWESOME FIELDS! These turf fields are very similar to the synthetic turf fields at The Ripken Experience in Myrtle Beach, SC; the University of Illinois Baseball Field in Champaign, IL; and the Tampa Bay Rays Tropicana Field. Lenz Field & Sports Complex simply eliminates rain outs! Two of the fields at Lenz are completely 100% turf, and the other three have infield turf and real grass outfields. 2009 & 2010 were record years in Illinois for rain. Lenz Field lost less than 10 tournament games in two years due to rain, and that’s because it was raining at game time. IF ITS NOT RAINING AT GAME TIME YOU ARE ALMOST ASSURED GETTING YOUR GAMES IN! Ask your self, “How many games and or tournaments did you get rained out in ’09 or 2010?” NOT AT LENZ FIELD & SPORTS COMPLEX! We have played in as little as 20 minutes after a 2 inch rain! Our fields are even better now that we are taking out the sodded foul territories and putting in turf. Now once you step out of the dugout on all the fields you will be on the TURF!  We have fields #1 & #2 on the complex side completed already!!!!  Look at the photos below to see the turf updates on Fields 1 & 2!
