As far as the new surface goes, I really want to believe that they will get it right the first time
It will be mixed to specification (they had a hard time finding the type of dirt they wanted, but I think they have now) but it will still have to "settle in".

I think it will change continuously over the first season or three (as it picks up moisture, is worked, etc), but we'll see. I doubt the way it plays the first month or two is the way it will play forever.
