Grass doesn’t grow well at Faurot. George Toma, the longtime groundskeeper for the Chiefs, said the problem with Faurot was that there was way too much sand so the roots had nothing to hold onto. That's why especially early in the season you would see clumps of turf come up, which is why astroturf has been used since the mid 80’s.
The short growing season up north can’t help either.

It's not much further north than Lexington KY or Charlottesville VA
But if not good enough, we are at an impasse. If a program can't grow grass, they have to leave.
Notre Dame Stadium was grass for over 100 years - it may have been Bluegrass or some hybrid, but okay
