Shouldn't resodding been done in the spring. No conspiracy here, just wondering why now.

They got the money to run the sprinklers non-stop, so it will work.  But yes, Spring is usually better.

Could have something to do with the way the sun hits the turf.  Or could be due to availability of sod.  I would have thought they'd want it done earlier so the grass has a solid root system in time for the first game.

I spent hours (on several different threads) arguing on TS with the guys that insisted the south end zone grass would die when the expansion enclosed that end of the field. LOL

No field turf. Just thought this would have started earlier for root development.
