Great point. You don't have to do that at all. But great point anyway.

And your point?
It doesn't matter what our state is called. Cold weather is gonna kill the grass in the later part of the year. Ask pretty much any player and I'm sure they'd take playing on a turf surface if the alternative is playing on stubbed grass that gives hardly any cushion in 40 degree weather. Helps the players and improves the football game.
Also, you probably think all the grass in the state is actually blue, don't ya?

If Lambeau can get by with Kentucky Bluegrass, I'm not sure why UK can't.

Doesn't hurt that we're recruiting a lot of Ohio kids and most of the schools in urban areas of Ohio have turf.

That's cute you think Lambeau just "gets by". Here is an article outlining what they go through, or in your words how they "get by". A LOT of work, time, equipment, and planning.
Lambeau Field Article from 2012
Also, now UK has the option to use the stadium for practice, which Stoops wants, and for more events outside of football. Here is what happens when larger scale events are held on already fragile grass surfaces. (I found one for you of Lambeau Field. 2015)

I like grass as much as the next person, but this was a good move for UK. It looked great early in the season, but by the last home game it was trashed and turning a light shade of brown.

1 year apart. You can really see how much close the new stands are to the field.

Yeah, I just don't get it...

Another look from another angle, and I still don't get it?

I think he's getting at there is 1 main concourse and you have to walk up to the top to get there then walk down to the seats.
Other stadiums give up you the option of easier routes than that.

Again, no you dont. You CAN walk up there and walk back down if you want to be a dummy. But there are several portal access points from ground level.
Do you not see them in the very bottom of the picture that tigergeauld posted?

He can't see anything due to the homer glasses he always wears.
