Missouri decides to install Fieldturf for this coming FB season. Any updates on SMU install new turf at Ford Stadium?

It's a done deal.

By your remark do you mean the fieldturf will be installed before the fall season begins? Do you have any insight about what the field will look like? Will it have a giant Pony in the middle of it like Moody? I don't suppose the fans or season ticket holders will have a chance to have a say about it's appearance. Too bad. The TCU fans did get to vote when they went into C-USA about their floor in their basketball arena. Just a thought.

I would love to see a pony as big as possible across the field...just like Moody. It would be distinctive, and maybe get us on TV.....

Sounds like you prefer a brown field to a green one. Not me. Of course I think natural turf is the best for the players and fans alike.

This is one case where fake is actually better than real. Some of your big time programs who have invested heavily in natural turf will be switching it out (again).
