It looks like it might be asphalt? Not that nice rubberized surface, unfortunately. And the corners look oddly sharp, and don't appear to be banked. Still, better than nothing, I guess. The field looks great, at least.
With the warm weather yesterday I saw people using the new athletic grounds, fences are still up though. Has there been an announcement of when the field will be opened? They were installing/testing the flood lights a few months ago.
