Hey KC members,
I read where Arrowhead has new turf. What was wrong with the old? What kind of turf did they replace and what is the new stuff?
I wonder how stable the new turf will be.
Just curious.

I think they were just putting in new turf because of it had been heavily worn with footballa nd soccer on the fiels all season.

I believe the turf they use is Tifway 419 plus Ph.D Ryegrass. I know they have been having trouble withthe bermuda gras s- but it was what Marty wanted when he coached here because he said it slowed other teams down.

Maybe they have put in a new kind of grass now? I don't know. We are lucky hree in kansas city. I was in reading Sports Turf magazine that kauffman stadium was vorted 5th best stadium by the major leagur players. All the stadiums rated above it were in warm weather cliamtes.
