Some of you know the details, but I believe BYU plans to do a complete field overhaul of the grass

Denver is a must consult

NFL stadiums replace the grass 2-3 times in a season while BYU does it once every 10 years

How do you replace a field multiple times in a season? Just rolling out new sod?

That’s exactly what they do.

Say what? Sod usually takes 2 weeks before you can even mow it, let alone play

Sounds like a great opportunity to employ more BYU students.

I watched Pitt play @ Steelers' stadium last week...looks like it hasn't been

The softest grass imaginable is Zeon zoysia. It’s a subtropical grass that has a very spongy feel.

Agreed, they should also consult Real Salt Lake's groundskeeper Dan Farnes, that

All I know is we need to be 100000x better than our last field replacement was.

The annual cost to maintain the quality of the playing surface could be significant

Many on here know the details... of fungal infections. Runs rampant in the jean

It seems like it's time to consider field turf

Field turf has gotten remarkably better and Texas, Toronto, and Arizona in the MLB

A number of high schools in Texas are converting to the cool turf

So a quick Google search to see how NFL players like artificial turf

TaysomJimmerEraCoug

You are referring to rubber pellet field turf.

runningryan

Interesting - I wasnt aware of that!

GT’s new surface

runningryan

Honestly, I don't think it's a matter of know-how. It's a matter of funding.

I like the grass field but am leaning to just replacing it with turf

I think I’d prefer the Shaw Sports Turf that uses cork and Coconut husk rather than rubber pellets

Many on CB are choosing to blame the Turf instead of A Rod so I have to start somewhere before getting to a coaching

runningryan

Yeah, Idacoug is geared up and ready to start complaining about the next staff
