I hope they do address the edge, it looks cheap and half done this way, especially behind the end zones where there won’t be ‘equipment’. Never understood why things get done half assed, bram is a perfect example. If you ever take the elevator down to the tunnel you’ll notice buttons for what was supposed to be additional floors, allowing for a split or tierd seating instead of the gigantic single rows we have now. But I digress, they need to make all the green one consistent shade. Now I’ll get off my soapbox

Isn’t the light green turf supposed to be more durable? not necessarily the better playing field service but durable for sideline use and Harley day and things like that?

It's my understanding that this is the latest and greatest new Astroturf and that K-
state is the first school to install it. It's supposed to be 3D turf.

Proof?? I saw a computer mock up but nothing official. I’d love it if it were purple, can you qualify your statement with a pic or GT saying so? He seems to stand by the two greens alot
