SEC football stadiums and artificial turf

Jordan-Hare has never had artificial turf. We are an AG school, that would be an abomination.

UGA
LSU
State
Auburn

Don't believe those schools have ever had artificial turf. Think everyone else has at some point

Neyland put in turf early 60s then switched to grass in the early 90s..cause it caused injuries. Then it had great grass, and lately it has tanked...so now it's being blamed for injuries. Maybe we can be the first to have a sand field to play on.

UGA built their's E-W so that the GRASS would never be blocked from the Sun.

Sanford is aligned the way it is because that's the way the creek/ravine under the field runs. That's why the stadium sits so low.

Irrigation for the entire length of the field.

Just wanted to say, in a sea of terrible offseason trolls and unintelligent drivel, this is a good thread.

Thanks.

I think they finally fired the idiot turf guy that took over a few years ago. The grass was not as bad last year imo

I think seybold is still the guy. hart (disliked him) finally heard the noise, and made seybold get over his stubborness, stop making excuses, and reach out to the experts UT has so readily available. Hope so at least....

Auburn researches and markets their own turf, so you will never see it in JHS. Artificial turf in the South is a Wal-mart solution to having your own grounds crew. You see HS in the South going to AT, mainly for cost savings.
