Improvements to Old Thompson: An idea in the making

Ever wonder what it would be like to have not only one, but two turf fields on campus? This thought has crossed my mind constantly. I play on the lacrosse team here at SRU and during our preseason, we practice on the grasstex because it is too cold in January to practice outside. As a result of practicing on that hard floor in the field house, many cases of compartment syndrome have come up. Compartment syndrome is a build up of pressure in a certain compartment of the body. I had to have surgery to fix this and I believe that if we had a second turf with a bubble on top for the cold winter season, the number of compartment cases would definitely go down. Hopefully the transition of Old Thompson can be made possible for future athletes!
