After 4 games on the new artificial turf, the results are great.
When it rains, only the mound and the batter's box need to be covered.
The bounces are always true although higher than regular turf.
The turf really slows down the ball on grounders which will make for more outs on infield grounders as the defense has more time to get to the ball.
When a player slides on the bases, the momentum carries him almost twice as far as on a dirt infield.

The space under the dome will be used mainly by little league baseball october through april. It should have a huge impact on baseball enrollment among kids. There's enough room for 2 soccer fields (kid's dimensions, of course).
Should do wonders for older players to practice on a real baseball diamond year-round.
