Will be the date of the last game in Major League Baseball to be played on AstroTurf. Talk is that MLB ordered them to get rid of it in time for 2005 after complaints from the player's union. After inspecting it SkyDome officials decided to go along with the demand.

 

 

Thus, ending the almost 40 years of Major League Baseball on the beloved Astroturf. :plain

 

Last MLB game on AstroTurf: October 3, 2004 - New York Yankees at Toronto Blue Jays

 

 

R.I.P Astroturf 1967-2004 you will be missed.

    the worst part about the turf is how theres no infield or even a full diamond, just around the bases and pitchers mound. thats the part i hate the most about turf
