Committee restricts turf field hours on shaky legal footing

Late-night soccer, football and baseball on all sports fields in near homes could be scrutinized by city hall in light of the controversial turf field project at Immaculata High School.
In a 6-2 vote, council’s planning committee on Tuesday approved rare restrictions on the recently built artificial turf field at Immaculata, ordering the lights to be turned off by 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and by 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. There also can’t be field activity before 9 a.
