Big 12 does not require painted end zones. Or ISU and OU have exceptions.

How much could new turf possibly cost? Get a local sod farmer to donate the turf and give them free publicity at LES!

I'm pretty sure the turf they have now came from a local turf farm in Payson.

The original turf was grown, the sand mixture came from Florida.
