A little more than two and a half weeks after the Texas Longhorns began replacing the 12-year-old FieldTurf at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium, the work is nearly complete.
It appears that the last major task involves putting down the text in the south end zone.
The new turf is a darker green with darker burnt orange in both end zones, which should address a common complaint from fans that the burnt orange was too light. A different font in the end zones represents a subtle change, but it looks like the school discarded a more significant alteration — Texas experimented with a dark background of the state of Texas behind the logo at midway.
