Over $200,000 was spent on renovations in the fall and winter before the 1995 season.[23] The home clubhouse and weight room were remodeled, aisles behind the dugouts were resurfaced to reduce slippery areas, and the entire playing field was re-sodded.[23] This was the first replacement and upgrading of the field since the original sod was laid in 1978.[24] First, all of the old grass was stripped from the field. Then, the grounds crew installed a new drainage system. Four trenches were dug and laid with 2,500 feet (760 m) of drainage pipe to carry water away from the field and beyond the center field wall.[24] A layer of gravel was laid over the pipe, and a 4-to-6-inch (10 to 15 cm) layer of sand was placed above the gravel.[24] After raising the level of the infield dirt and brick warning track to the same height of the new field, 100,000 square feet (9,300 mē) of Tifton 419 Bermuda Grass was installed on the field and edged into a baseball diamond configuration.[24]
