This is why we can’t have new things.
OK, well, except in this case, it’s kind of a good thing.
Back, the Arkansas athletic department released word that Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium was going to have its grass replaced following Garth Brooks’ concert there later in the month.
Turns out, no such thing will happen. The thinking was the field would be badly damaged because of the foot-traffic for the stadium show. Plastic was placed on top of the grass at the time for the more 8,000 attendees who were on the field.
Arkansas’ practice turf field is still being replaced and it began on the weekend. It’s likely to be finished in mid-July.
The Razorbacks open the season September 3 against Cincinnati.
