re: Field Turf In The SEC

At a cost of nearly 500K/year to replace, it is still cheaper than a field turf surface if you consider those things have to be replaced every 7-8 years or so

Meridian High only paid $500k to have turf installed in Ray Stadium. Alabama has a large football budget and can afford it. MSU has a turf management program so they will have turf of course. I would prefer grass as well, but it is cost prohibitive to those with a limited budget.
