An inspection report of the Milford High School turf field reveals that portions of the turf melted or were pulled out, apparently from the spinning of tires, in an act of vandalism Sunday.
A project manager who oversaw construction of the artificial turf field at Milford High School inspected the damage left by vandals Tuesday, and found portions of the turf had been melted or pulled up, presumably by high-speed spinning of tires. The turf is laid in a series of rolls, like carpet, then attached together. It cannot be repaired through individual patches of damaged areas, wrote Scott Landgren, senior project manager for CDM Smith, in a report to Brian Murray, chairman of the Milford Board of Selectmen. "There is no easy way to assess a value of damage to the field," Landgren wrote. "The value carpet of the field itself, above the engineered sub-base and drainage system, is approximately $350,000 to $400,000. Aside from …

It doesn't sound believable that there isn't a "patch" solution to the field that doesn't endanger the field users (sports or otherwise). I doubt the town is paying "insurance" for a turf field....that would be prohibitively expensive. Putting it in was a gamble...that will not have paid off. No criticism of the town intended whatsoever. It made sense when done. Now the community must (and will) … more ›

Two men were arrested by Milford Police early Sunday, just hours before graduation, after they reportedly drove a Jeep over several athletic fields, including the new football field.
Two men face felony vandalism charges after they were arrested after riding in a Jeep Grand Cherokee over the Milford athletic fields, according to police arrest reports. The vandalism included extensive damage to the grassy areas surrounding parking lots at Milford High School, and to an access gate and section of fence protecting the new turf football field. The artificial turf field, valued at $1 million, will be evaluated by contractors for damage but appeared to have minor cosmetic damage, according to the police documents. The arrests and vandalism came just hours before the Milford High School graduation, but did not disrupt the ceremonies. Workers re-installed a section of fencing separating the field from the bleachers, and put up…
