New Turf Going In Soon?

NorthTexan95 · May 14, 2011

It appears they have a layer of white stone or something similar completely covering where the turf will go. I wouldn't think they would that unless they were about to lay down the new turf. Anyone know when that will take place?

Yep..the turf will be coming soon. Here is a good link that show the stages of laying a synthetic turf field. Link: http://www.aturf.com/index.php/general_info/understanding_synthetic_grass_systems/

The cool thing about this, is that the University could only afford turf to the 30 yard line. But with Empire's new promotion, we can afford to cover the entire field. Just call 1-800 588-2300 EMPIRE. Today.

Very Interesting - the RESILIENT SHOCKPAD is very cool - it is nice to know that we will have the most up to date field in the USA.

It was good to see you out there today. If I remember right, Brian Bethea said today that the new turf is scheduled to start going in on the 23rd of this month. 9 days and counting!
