And touring your new grass field (I do some consulting work there). New grass field and the end zone enclosure looks super sharp, with the field-level hospitality. Well done. Also got to see the practice field project. That's a massive undertaking. Will be really great when it's done. Kinda wondering where the guys are doing their off season conditioning, running routes etc. Looks like the only place to do it is on the track infield right now. Very impressed with the facilities there.

Probably Jackson State. The Death Penalty will extend to the entire university. It's closing down. We're done. It's over.

If the whole university is getting the death penalty, I hope the locals can at least use the field as a place to walk their dogs at potty time. They can call it Hotty Potty Field.

I don't know what you saw but honestly, I have thought it a nice looking stadium for a long time. The sun glare off of the sports turf was annoying so good to get rid of that. It's a nice blend of colors and design.

DP should not hurt the baseball team since they 'crash and burn' every post season. Oh yea, fans like it cause their players can get the badly needed rest. HaHa

Bout damn time they switched to grass. Even I was getting tired of seeing their players hurting themselves on that turf crap.

Did you find stashes of cash anywhere? No way anyone would go to Oxford/MS/Ole Piss without getting paid. The Bears are ruining the amateur athletics culture.

Well, that's it then. They will never beat Les Miles again. Everyone knows that grass to Les is like spinach to Popeye.

Yes, all new grass and they are redoing their entire practice field structure as well. With the new Pavilion at Ole Miss Concourse it has transformed the entire area. Really nice facility now. Baseball stadium is next... Which was already pretty nice.

Didn't they JUST go to artificial within the last 5 years? Why the switch back? Btw I'm a huge proponent of playing on natural grass and im really proud how the SEC has stayed so firm on keeping its natural grass fields.
