Cut me some slack, I was like 5 or 6 years old....I had no concept of what turf was. To me, it was a beautifully manicured lawn. :O)
The first time I came to Riverfront was for the All Star game the year it opened, so I was 15 1/2 and I thought the same thing, so it had nothing to do with you be a little kid. It quickly wore down, but it was stunning on that summer day.

Side story: My dad got these tickets and he and my mom were going to go, but dad then got a chance to sit down in the blue seats. Mom gave them to me and another of my brothers and said "they're probably in the last row". She was right and wow was that high!
