Getting the turf off the field doesn't just happen overnight. First crews have to cut the carpet of Astroturf, peel it back, then chop up the concrete beneath it.
It will take about a week to get the 115,000 square feet of carpet on its way out of Lackawanna County Stadium. It will be used for mini-fields, patios and putting greens, maybe even in some backyards.
The county is paying more than $500,000 to get the new sod in this March. Mandalay Baseball, the new management group, takes care of it from there.
The team is selling the old turf for a dollar per square foot. Some of the proceeds will be donated to charity. If you want to buy a piece, call the Red Barons at 570-969-BALL.
