Sure looks great! Makes me want to tape up the ole ankles, lace up the cleats and hit somebody! I just hope the turf holds up a lot better than it did last year.

Did they or did they not install field turf this year?

According to the Rentschler Field website this morning it's still natural turf. http://www.rentschlerfield.com/stadium_info.cfm. It just looks like field turf in that picture. As an AGNR grad (now AGHNR), I love the way it looks and hope it's ready for a full season of football. Especially for three straight home games to start the season.

Is there a scrimmage today or regular practice?

The grass looked excellent for the alumni association dinner with Diaco recently- green and thick as could be. Now, that said... The grass looked great a year ago for the Pasqualoni dinner, so it's tough to know how it's doing underneath the surface.

Son of a gun that is beautiful grass !!!!!!

God I hope the field stays in tact all season. Replacing divots and clumps in the season opener was a bad harbinger of things to come last year.

Would love to close in on sellout and set up those extra seats for BYU.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say the grass was greener for HCBD.

Grass looks tremendous.

Anyone know if they'll be making the endzones blue with white wording this season? They had it for Memphis and it was a great visual.
