What's The Best Dugout Flooring?

Believe it or not, dugout flooring is one of the more important aspects to consider when planning or updating a baseball field! It really sets the tone and creates the first impression of the overall field or diamond.

It is also the area where players, coaches, and support staff and volunteers spend a great deal of time, so having a quality dugout flooring in place will keep them clean and comfortable and help keep teams coming back to your field or complex.

Although there are different things you can do with the dugout flooring, choosing a rubber product has become the most common and successful choice for dugouts in a baseball field, softball field, or stadium.
