Field at Yale Bowl will remain natural

Yale is no longer pursuing a proposal to replace the grass at the Yale Bowl with artificial turf (“Artificial Turf for the Bowl?” November/December). The plan would have allowed the installation of a temporary indoor practice facility for athletic teams during the winter months. Athletics department spokesman Steve Conn says the department is exploring other locations for an indoor practice facility.
