What was under the old McTurf

[McTailGator]

Check out this picture of what was found under the old natural grass turf at Cowboy stadium.

It looks like the old paint from the endzone got down to the dirt surface, when they pealed off the grass.

That's not dirt. It's a weed barrier.

McNeese interim athletic director Tommy McClelland said
that a certain amount of the turf that is being taken up will be set
aside for fans who wish to purchase a square for a souvenir. Fans can
contact the athletic department for more information.

The turf is from GSE GeoSport

So how much you buying?

So how much you buying?

I have not heard any details so far. There is an athletic foundation fundraiser coming up in a few weeks so I imagine we will hear about it then.

I guess it will depend on how they sell it (by the bale or bag) :D

I'll take an ounce of that grass! I heard it was the crunk.

Only about 40 days after the intended start date.

Hope the weather holds out so we can play the spring game on it.
