Re: The old turf is coming up
So we spent all that money to put in this turf to help prevent injury and reduce yard maintenance. Now we are spending all this money to go back to natural grass. Seems a waste.

I think they're replacing the artificial turf with new turf, not grass.

Re: The old turf is coming up
they could have just replaced the logo area if the whole field were newer...if it's the original from 2012 it was time to swap it out, the technology for that stuff gets better every couple of years.

2012? I'm clearly old. In my head we replaced that stuff like 2 or 3 years ago.

Re: The old turf is coming up
It would have been nice to have enjoyed another U2 concert at the stadium before switching it out. (Though the U2 concert was in 2011 - does that mean it was replaced 2x in 2 years?)

Correct! James Franklin wanted turf because he thought it was faster.dorepleganger wrote: ↑Mon Aug 08, 2022 9:42 amIt would have been nice to have enjoyed another U2 concert at the stadium before switching it out. (Though the U2 concert was in 2011 - does that mean it was replaced 2x in 2 years?)
