So their cheerleaders won't graze during halftime.

Is that the leftover carpet from before the Astrodome imploded?

Average of 35” rain per year and frequent drought conditions. But yeah I wish it were real grass. FWIW I just came from watching game 1 and it looks a little better in person than it does on TV. But it’s still turf
Cop out. Y’all could have natural surfaces on your football and baseball fields if you weren’t lazy. You can easily water that with recycled water like the golf courses all over Austin do.
If only there were an Ag school 90 miles east that could teach you how to do these simple things…

All those on campus liberal rallies and Pride fest events would destroy the grass.

Texas? What about Troy? Why does a baseball field in Pike County Alabama, known as the “wire grass” region of the state has fake grass just doesn’t make sense. Bermuda is king in South Alabama.

It's called laziness....and cost.
Once that shite is installed, you don't have to touch it for 20 years.

Perhaps one day they'll demolish the whole thing and build a new fancy ballpark. Until then, with the shade the overhang creates and the orientation of the field, and the concrete base, and so on and so forth, it'll have to do. We'll survive.

Their old stadium, Clark Field, had a cliff in the outfield and it was fair territory.

I can’t even watch a game on TV played at Texas. It’s too ugly for my eyes to handle

I hate when turf design doesn’t even try to fake it like a real field. Like Texas that only has brown turn around the bases.
I like turf like Georgia’s that actually looks like a real field.

What are you talking about? Makes perfect sense, they are poor.
Great decision to spend more on other things like NIL.

Really just says it all about their culture.
Sure some hardcore athletic supporters want it, but the vast majority of the people at the university are weirdos and libtards who would pitch a fit at such unnecessary expenditures, at best they would just never care.
