Groundskeepers move the sprinkler system further from the baselines Thursday at Arvest Ballpark in Springdale during the infield’s renovation. Approximately 1.25 acres of Patriot Bermudagrass will be replaced on the infield and aprons, or sides of the fields. Portions of the infield’s grass, near first and third base, will also be replaced with dirt to accommodate for the area’s high use and resulting damage to the field. The Northwest Arkansas Naturals and Arvest Ballpark will host the Texas League All-Star game on June 25.
