Faurot Field is built weirdly and the grass dies.


When the SEZ grandstands were added in the late 70s, that is when the circulation became so bad grass was no longer reliable. They then went to turf and tried grass again in the 1990s and it failed again. There were several years of grass in the 90s/2000

At least use field turf so it looks somewhat like grass - lots of injuries on astroturf.

Faurot’s playing surface is 75 feet below the road deck as you walk through the gates. Between fungus & the fact that every type of natural grass will go dormant after the first frost, which is mid to late October around here it’s not viable. Arrowhead in KC was artificial turf in the 70’s & 80’s for this reason, but is now Bermuda,. So everything that you see on TV at Arrowhead after Oct. is sprayed painted grass, though the Chiefs generally run through 2-3 fields a season w/ re-sods. But hey, the rock M is back and looks sweet.

It is, it’s the newest field turf available 3D3, whatever that is, just that the company’s official moniker is Astroturf.

Great, now if you could please put turf over that ugly track around your field so our WRs don't slip and fall after they catch TD passes

Arkansas has similar weather.

Arkansas has a field that is well below the road as well.

Arkansas is able to grow grass.

Mizzou is just poor and doesn’t want to worry about taking care of real grass

Didn’t our current QB blow his knee out on your shite turf 2 years ago?
Plus, if we’re poor, you’re poor it’s the same Walmart $$$
Though if Bentonville and pig shite is so wonderful why do the Kroenke’s & Laurie’s reside in Columbia and not with the sooie pig riff raff?

You were ranked 17th with a team still littered with 4 and 5 star players.

Excuses are for dumbass waterboy cajuns.

Jesus,

They still don't have any chairbacks in that stadium? I thought they just dumped a bunch of money into it? Do they even have boxes? Just looks like a massive scaffolding high school stadium.

Still looks like an absolute dump. Such a surreal and bizarre reality that they are in this league.

And of course they continue to kick our arse every year but still, its fun to laugh at their weirdness and all out horrific fit within the league.
