Re: New softball fields
Could be an issue of not wanting the noise of a night game bothering residents.
Lights are expensive to operate. We have three soccer fields in our town that are made of field turf (artificial turf) and have lights. Each costs about a mil without the land cost (the city made new housing developers provide them as part of their rezoning fees)(the mayor's son was a soccer player).
The city charges the adult or youth soccer leagues a fee to operate the lights on an as wanted basis (per night per field).
