Do professional baseball teams re-sod their fields every year?

Answer 1

Professional teams do all kinds of crazy things that we mere mortals can't. Most teams don't "resod" every year because new sod won't perform like established sod. However, it's not uncommon for a professional team to resod if they have some very serious problems. They overcome the establishment issue by laying extremely thick sod in very long rolls. This helps the issue of sod tearing up or shifting under the players foot. I've seen systems that you just wouldn't believe. One team grows established sod on pallets that they can change out when needed. In short no, they don't resod every year, but in a pinch they can do it.
