Death Valley's Bull's Eye Bermuda Grass is gone
Posted on 8/5/11 at 10:46 pm
Posted on 8/5/11 at 10:46 pm
Replaced with "celebration grass"
Bermuda has that great root system and holds together well, especially when you have the high dollar underturf trickle irrigation system that LSU has ...
Questions:
Is this gonna have any effect on trench warfare and the footing or footwear used during the games?
And what about cuts?
Injuries?
I don't know about you guys, but I DON'T like people messin' with MY GRASS
UPDATED/EDITED
I googled it under bermuda

This is all we need to know!!!
Celebration, already used by the National Football League's Tampa Bay Bucaneers, has been gaining popularity for sports fields worldwide because of its rapid recovery characteristics and its low surface hardness. Surface hardness directly correlates with incidence of player injury. Another appealing feature of Celebration is that it is more Earth friendly, in part because of lower nitrogen needs. Celebration uses 50% less nitrogen than other bermudagrass varieties.
Reduces injuries ... Good enough for Tampa Bay ... similar humid hot climate in Baton Rouge

anyone on here have any experience with the taste of the new Celebration grass versus the old bermuda grass? Is it sweeter, more bitter, saltier but with more of a tang to it? Just what are the flavor notes of it?

Is this really a thread about grass?
Posted on 8/5/11 at 10:57 pm to Ramah59
Celebration is a variation of Bermuda used for locations that get more traction than a normal lawn.

Why not. 
Replacing the grass every year is part of the deal with Bayou Country Superfest. The celebration Bermuda is used all over the world including Augusta National.

The field looked great last year, I hope that doesn't change

Yes it is, and Lsu put it in Tiger Stadium before last season...
Uh, Germans

We had the same field last year.
You were too busy hypnotizing recruits to get them eligible for LSU to notice.

If Celebration was the same kind for last season, it was light, sweet and airy with a hint of lemon and mint.

Dammit, this is worst than toonces!!! The bermuda grass was tradition. I can't believe they're changing it. We might as well be wearing new pro combat jerseys every week!!! Consider my season tickets sold.

It is Bermuda grass you ignorant frick. You fail on so many levels but I'm guessing mostly at life. 
Posted on 8/6/11 at 3:19 am to Ramah59
I hear it's a combination of Kentucky bluegrass and California sensimilla

Feels like I'm in a turf and grass class
