when did notre dame go to artificial turf
Notre Dame Stadium Opened 88Â years ago on October 4, 1930, the stadium seating capacity was nearly 60,000 for decades. More than 21,000 seats were added for the 1997 season, which increased the capacity to over 80,000. After the Campus Crossroads renovation, the seat number decreased to 77,622. The playing surface was changed to FieldTurf in 2014, after 84 seasons on natural grass.
SunTrust Park The Braves selected a type of grass called "Seashore Paspalum, Platinum TE" for the stadium.[9] The Braves replaced Turner Field's Tifway 419 hybrid Bermuda grass in the infield in 2012 in hopes the softer, thicker paspalum would slow down the playing surface a bit for the benefit of their infielders.[9] The Bermuda remained in Turner Field's outfield, while the grassed areas of foul territory also were switched to paspalum.[9] At SunTrust Park, the entire field is paspalum.[9] It is a popular choice for beach golf courses. It also is used at Minute Maid Park and Marlins Park.[9]
