"Artificial turf has been an important priorityfor the Athletic Department for a number ofyears," he said. "It'll benefit everyoneinvolved."
Locker said the new facility will help alleviate scheduling difficulties by providing additional space, and is particularly useful because teams will be able to practice on it in the winter months. It is easier to clear snow from artificial turf than from grass.
According to Scott Anderson, coach of the men's lacrosse team, the new surface will have a positive effect on Harvard lacrosse. He cited the disadvantages of practicing indoors during the winter andsaid the artificial turf will permit the team topractice outside.
