Wrigley Volleyball

This really is unfortunate. This surface was/is not designed for outdoor use.

Per Google:’

Taraflex is strictly an indoor sports surface and does not work well outdoors. [1] (https://taraflexusa.com/)

While its manufacturer, Gerflor, produces separate, dedicated flooring solutions for outdoor city stadiums and multi-sport facilities, the classic vinyl Taraflex court used for high-level volleyball is explicitly engineered for indoor climate-controlled environments.

Heat Expansion Expanding material: Synthetic vinyl expands significantly when exposed to summer heat. Without a climate-controlled room, an outdoor Taraflex court will buckle and create uneven, unplayable surfaces.

Loss of Grip and Shock Absorption Altered traction: The patented surface treatment relies on a clean, dust-free indoor environment. Dirt, dust, and moisture outdoors completely alter the traction, turning a high-grip surface into a slipping hazard.

How about they dig a pit in the infield, water it down, and have a mud volleyball match?

(Mud VB, invented only a few miles from me in Chester, Nebraska!)
 
No matter how much education some people get , and how much IQ so high, not enough have common sense!
Gee, wonder if that's original? ;)
