stripes are staying...
https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/202 ... racts-okd/UCA Athletic Director Brad Teague said the artificial turf has a lifespan of about 10 years.
"It was time to update them for safety concerns. We would fully expect, with the new technology, that these would do 10 or more now," Teague said. "As we noted, 11 years ago, the cost of maintaining a natural grass field was actually more expensive than this upfront cost of putting in artificial turf."
Fiddler referred to the football field's signature purple and gray stripes and asked if the look was being maintained with the new turf.
"That is correct," Teague said. "That is our brand. The stripes are football and we want everyone to fear the stripes."
