Turf War: Field Turf or Grass?

It is always debated.

It is always controversial.

Should Ross-Ade Stadium go to Field Turf or stay natural grass?

I have been open about it, I would love Field Turf. When the field is dead brown for the junior day, you take the recruits to the press box, isn’t that a hard sell?

But, I am fine with grass also. But, maybe, Bermuda grass isn’t the way to go.

I know the turf science management plays a huge role in the maintaining of the field. Which I love. It gives the students that are going to school to obtain that degree memories that will last forever - they got to prep Ross-Ade Stadium for Saturday Football Games.
