Bet you didn’t know the stadium was getting new turf.
I have to tell you that the installation is a wonder to observe. When I worked as a vice principal at Livingston High School, they installed Field Turf. I was out there everyday documenting the process. Truly amazing.
While it wasn’t announced as were a lot of the other construction projects, new turf - an easy $1 million-plus - is another shiny new toy for football. And it means that about 12,000 square yards (or 108,000 square feet) of the old stuff needs to be disposed of.
