Yup, no link yet though. Supposed to announce tomorrow or Friday
Typically actual turf is real grass. So, is there going to be real grass or artificial turf?

There will be real living grass in Tiger Stadium.

Artificial
With the new expansion the grass won't be able to grow like old so they're going with artificial turf this season.

We don't pay for the new field every year and the grass guys are already on payroll. GTFO with this shite man.

Frankly I don't care what the playing surface is, but every week for the past month, people have been freaking over the impact of Bayou Country Superfest and why LSU has to redo the field because of it!
BTW, I hope the field is Purple and Gold with the Toonces Logo

Could be wrong and I'll wait to see in person, but I still think the South Endzone is a different color than the north.
I think the north is a resurfaced concrete and the south is pre-made panels.
Example of color difference/material and panel type look. Columns in pic 1 look like the outside of the south endzone. Different color than the north walls.

You are Correct!! I've been saying this for a month now.
The east & west are even different than the North and South. Its a Mess !! I have no Idea what Lsu is thinking...
Plus add the Dirt...
Notice the color, like a sand beige, now this is a rendering. But Look at the new athletic building its that same sand-beige color. There even doing some of the arches that color on the top of the South side of the stadium.

It is a different color. The stucco finish is the same color as the indoor facility, Alex box, energy coast bldg, etc....
Doesn't look good at all. Wish they would blend the stadium in.
Trying to understand the reasoning behind the stucco finish.

It looks like the left screen isn't as flush as the other on the right. It's looked like this since they've been taking pictures with the screens, I don't understand how you can't at least notice it.
it's the angle of the camera and the fact the board to the right has more behind it. it's not any closer to the upper deck

^This. It's been asked and answered before. The two screens are different in the back due to the design and layout of the existing stadium.
Back of the west screen
Back of the east screen (older progress pic)
Remember, the addition was shoe-horned into the available space behind the south end zone. The east side of the SEZ addition was actually nestled in behind the already existing ramp.

there have been plenty of pictures posted ITT to refute the color discrepancy argument. it's the same color. the differences y'all are seeing is the south endzone is in direct sunlight and the north is in the shade.
you can also tell they've added another coat of a darker color recently that is noticeably darker than the original coat. and people, please stop going by the renderings. the color that is on there is not even close to the off-white color on the renderings.
not to mention, every new rendering as looked slightly different. people just need to wait until it's finished. every week it's something different people bitch about, just stop until the project is completed.
