Ryan Field's turf

You're not the only one. Heck, I don't even bother mowing the lawn. I have primarily St. Augustine on sandy soil that is so nutrient limited that the grass doesn't grow more than an inch or two the entire year except where the cats pee on it. I stopped peeing on the grass (I'm a firm believer in outdoor urination) because it would green up and stand out from the surrounding lighter colored grass.
I suspect the Ryan Field problem is chinch bugs and not enough manganese.
This has been an excellent year for growing grass in Chicagoland, just look at every golf club in the area. Summer patch and other turf diseases are easily handled with routine spray applications. #moreincompetency
It's magic grass, and can sense the health of the program. Last time I remember it looking like this was 2006. That was when we lost a 35 point lead to MSU in the second half. At least then we were exciting to watch. My mind could be playing tricks, whatever the case the field is an embarrassment.

How can any university football program have a field in the condition we saw on Saturday? That's just embarrassing for your school. If your program can't maintain a grass field correctly, just get field turf and get it over with already.
Probably already too late. Can't do much when it is used every week and it is the end of the growing season.
Generally it has been pretty highly rated. Not sure what is going on this year.
And therein lies the problem. Soldier Field has always had horrible grass and then they try to re-sod in November after the growing season. They are bumbling fools when it comes to grass maintenance.
I like my fungi sauteed in clotrimazole. Onions and butter add an interesting twist.
