With the bowling in of the North end zone, a natural grass surface will follow. Field Turf began to catch on in the early 2000’s, following a redesign from the original Astro Turf used in the late 1960’s to the mid 1980’s. Jason List of the Ole Miss Athletic Department posted an update, as half of the artificial surface has already been removed, as the 2016 season grows closer.
