| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles the Ross-Ade Stadium at Purdue University in Indiana, stating that "it was announced in February [2006] that bermudagrass would be used on...[the] stadium." Explains that "bermudagrass was chosen, partially by preference and partially by default. The football staff expressed their desire for a closely mowed, 'fast' field and a desire to use Ross-Ade for occasional August practices...bermudagrass was a natural recommendation." States that "sodding was done in mid-May to allow the bermudagrass to knit, root and produce a tough, playable surface by August, barring an unseasonably cool summer." Mentions that "the existing Kentucky bluegrass/perennial ryegrass turf in Ross-Ade was removed...with a Koro machine." |
