Yes. Made their own sand and gravel base, too.Apparently they used shovels and leveled it by hand?
And what part of area 51, I mean the little circles in the North end-zone, is that?Interesting decision to go with a combination of surfaces -- grass on the playing field, but artificial around the perimeter.
It'll sure cut down on the dead spots, both in the team areas and where cheerleaders and media stand. For example, check out JTS -- pretty easy to tell where spirit squad, media, and team areas are.

Just read this article. Yes the players are in favor of grass still. Less stress, less injuries.Looks like NFL players aren't generally on the side of the "We need artificial turf!" crowd.
Maintenance can’t be that bad. Iowa only feels the weight of that because they probably don’t pay their labor.What is the real durability of the artificial turf? Iowa had to replace their 2 year old turf in 2019. A news story at the time made it sound like high maintenance/replacement was pretty common around the country with AT. The are a number of lawsuits related to artificial turf failure.
I know you're joking but I wonder if they just replace the under layers or all the turf too? I'd love to buy some of that.They could haul the old turf up my way. I live just North of JTS. Would look good in my yard and it would be a great conversation to say I have the part of the 20 yard line in my front yard.
They'll rip the field and probably 12-18" of base under it out and re-do it all.I know you're joking but I wonder if they just replace the under layers or all the turf too? I'd love to buy some of that.
