Didn't they re sod that field like 30 minutes before the Bethune game, as well?No bueno ... field has been in terrible shape for every home game.
First couple looked like a checkerboard with the mismatched grass and this last one a hard rain for 5 minutes = slip and slide.
that field used to be perfect. someone said they had to change the type of grass when they added the canopy.No bueno ... field has been in terrible shape for every home game.

Something bad would have to happen to the Dolphins because of the grass before they think about this big a change, imo. Dolphins have only played one home game this season. And that was the 1st game on newly sodded grass, when the Canes were on the road the day before, and no rain fell. So they haven't had to deal with the bad turf yet aside from the preseason, when they thought this new grass would solve the issue.Why stick with real grass? Why not just put in fake turf?
I've heard that narrative mentioned a lot and I don't agree with that.Agreed, but was in our favor second half when it rained. GT couldn't run most of their stuff
This. Even division III schools are moving to artificial turf at this point. It's not like the artificial turf from the 80's.Why stick with real grass? Why not just put in fake turf?

Both the Canes and Dolphins play here this week. Big test for that grass.
They use Fescue on the European pitches though. At Hard Rock, it is Bermuda, so needs the sun.^yeah, its the canopy blocking the sun throughout the day on most of the grass. They tried those stadium grow lights last season, but I guess it didn't work too well.
Canopies are all over stadiums in Europe. I know the weather here is different, but its crazy how they haven't found a solution for this yet.
