I heard a rumor that the South End Zone expansion was going to cast such a shadow that the turf would not going to recieve enough natural direct light to sustain it, and would ultimately have to be replaced with a different type of sod or an artificial one.

Does anyone know if there's any truth to that rumor?

This "rumor" comes up every freaking year. Don't believe it.

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

I would really hope not. That would be a shame.

I also heard a rumor it was going to be Purple (e.g. Boise State style)



























Just Kidding...I hope they keep the turf natural grass.

Same. That grass is amazing...soft and slightly spongy.

I heard they were going to plant weed during the offseason to bring more revenue to TAF.

I heard that they are going to tear down TS and build something else.

For some reason no one in this thread has ever heard about it, but it's been discussed at all levels.
