Well Hell yeah there is a reason. The Salesman said that if we would go ahead and install the turf then he would not sell it to Bama or Auburn or LSU or MSU. He said the first one to go turf had an exclusive deal. That and he gave us 0% interest and 25% discount. We had no choice after he knocked another 25% off.

We have turf because Petrino wanted it. He hated our practice fields we had at the time because they were freaking sloped downhill one way. He also hated that you could see in the practice area easily. He always practiced inside the stadium because he said it gives your offense an advantage at home due to familiarity.

Our turf always screwed up towards November anyway. I don't care regardless but something tells me if Bielema sticks around, we will be back on grass in a few years.
