Field surface: Grass/dirt diamonds + turf multi-use fields
A mix. GSL Tournaments' field list rates the Sprinker diamonds as grass/dirt. The News Tribune reported in 2024 that Sprinker also opened new fully synthetic multi-sport fields that can host baseball, softball and fastpitch. A second phase adding four more multi-sport fields was slated for 2026 construction. Check your schedule for which field you're on. (8 softball diamonds (grass/dirt per GSL) + synthetic multi-sport fields opened 2024)
