It might be the off-season when you decide to write about artificial grass. You know it's the off-season when your story about artificial grass includes a short discussion about why that grass is probably the wrong color. Confused? I can help with that.
Didn't we just get new turf two years ago?
Yes, yes we did. As part of the agreement with the Vikings, new field turf was installed at TCF Bank Stadium prior to the 2014 season. This was done to allow the addition of heating coils under the field as well as to make sure the design of the field allowed for complete transitions between Gophers/NCAA and Vikings/NFL markings and logos.
