Rumor has it that the "field" in Austin will be replaced with a new field-turf type surface. Main reason: Grass in Austin is meant to be smoked, not walked on!
LOL....yeah as a part of the renovation of the N endzone they are going to replace the grass with that new fangled turf you see at Ohio State, Michigan and Neb. I think it's dumb, we should be able to have one of the finest grass fields anywhere in Austin Texas. Looking at the comments on InsideTexas.com they are 1000% against this move. Several commented rightfully that if something was going to get a new turf that it should be Disch-Falk! That said there is sentiment for making the turf burnt orange sort of like blue turf in Boise!!
