I know the guy who re-sods/aerates the field for TS, the box, and the softball fields. He hasn't expressed any concern.


The company that re-sod TS only does the resodding and not regular maintenance on the fields.

True. LSU is just going to enclose the stadium and make it a dome.

You hear it here first

A local news station in BR did a fly-by of TS yesterday and this was what they saw.








Why would there have been people there?

I have a better question:

When did the word artificial become a verb?

Ouch. As a frequent member of the Grammar & Spelling Police, it stings to have my semantics impugned. I must protest, and call for a vote from The Usage Panel.

I think if you asked Miles he would tell you the grass is just fine as is.

I heard Nick Saban is building one of those sun blockers that Mr. Burns built in the Simpsons just so he could kill the grass in Tiger Stadium.

I've heard that Tiger Stadium will soon have a football field made of clay.

Eventually we will have field turf. Not in the distant future though. This is from someone very high up. Believe me or not. People on here that know me personally know.

Roommate works with the turf management guys. It is likely true. They are doing everything they can to figure out if they can prevent it.
