Latitude 36 Bermudagrass has been a game-changer for Duke softball, providing excellent playability and suiting a fast style of play. Latitude 36 has some of the best “playability” of any bermuda on the market and is a favorite in the college sports industry. The Blue Devils employ Latitude 36 on numerous athletic fields around campus including football’s Wallace Wade Stadium.
“So the Latitude is a very tight grass- balls love to basically skip and roll which for soccer and
softball is great. It’s a very fine textured blade of grass that just shows very well on TV.”
– Ian Christie – Director of Athletic Grounds – Duke University
