In less than two weeks, the Florida State Seminoles are set to host the Alabama Crimson Tide at Doak Campbell Stadium.
With minimal practices and little recovery time remaining, the Seminoles announced they would change the playing surface of their football stadium from artificial turf to real, natural grass.
FSU shared they would utilize the 'lay-and-play' grass that had previously been used in Super Bowls, soccer (or futbol) World Cups, and many other sporting events. However, after years of practicing on turf, a switch to the real deal has a lot of people questioning the decision.
While the Seminoles have grown used to playing on the turf surface, players at Alabama have played on real grass since 1991, when they switched back from AstroTurf that had been installed in 1968.
