Does anyone know when new turf will go into Whitmire?
The Desso Challenge Pro 2 turf was installed in 2008, so with the normal wear time of artificial turf of 10 years, 2018 hit that mark. Since nothing has been announced and no work has started on the stadium, I think it's safe to assume new turf will not be installed prior to the 2019 playing season. Anyone know if next year is the target, or are they going to stretch it even farther?
I certainly hope they go with another brand rather than the Desso, it's looked terrible since about the 3d year after installation. Any suggestions?

Yes it is definitely time for a new field. It is really faded and all of the grass is matted down.

I think the AD did address it in one of the AD updates from a year or so ago. I'm think it was that they were starting the process or something.

What happened to the Ask the AD thing? The questions too tough or did he just get tired of saying "We're not going to do that right now"?

Seems Randy does lots of addressing and much, much less action!
