re: Switching over to Artificial Turf in Tiger Stadium is a great idea.

There is no better playing surface than a well-groomed grass field. Period.

LSU has the luxury of not needing extra rental income from the stadium outside of the 7-8 games a year LSU plays there (with the exception of the country music deal they do). That means, they can work on the field between games and keep people off of it, keeping it in pristine condition all season.

This is in stark contrast to the Cap One Bowl where the grass field was chewed up by several other games, including high school playoff games.

If you have a high-traffic stadium, you want turf. If you only use the stadium for your home games, you want grass.

Which is why most of the SEC stadiums are grass.
