The K-State field is actually a pretty big deal for AstroTurf, because K-State will be the first D1 School to install this version of GameDay Grass in its stadium.   This is the product that AstroTurf using to battle head on with FieldTurf, so displacing a FieldTurf field at a BCS school is a pretty damn big deal for them.   From what I hear though, the final decision literally came down to the fact that AstroTurf could match the exact shade of purple in their production that the athletic department is trying to move to across the board.   FieldTurf couldn't match it perfectly.

In terms of what they want to do on the West Side of the Stadium, we're literally talking about one of the most expensive projects ever on a Kansas Board of Regents Campus.   Only out done by the Jardine Renovation, and NBAF.    All in line with the over $1 Billion dollars in construction on that end of campus over a 15 year period.

So if the AD gave us Turfcam for the turf installation, can you imagine what they will give us for the eastside potties!?

Turfcam is actually provided by Astro Turf.

so the aforementioned cam will be provided by Porta-John. :dunno:

If Porta-John doesn't pull through, ADJC will.  We seem to have a webcam for everything.

If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

Will the 20s be just one purple line, or will it be a white line surrounded on either side by two purps?  The mockup indicates the former, but I've never seen it done that way, I don't think.

Also, how do they lay the numbers in?  Do they do some hardcore stapling to the green turf?  Or do they bring in a badass seamstress?
