The LSU Athletic Department has begun preparations to install purple field turf in historic Tiger Stadium in time for the beginning of this year’s schedule.
“It’s now time to expand the traditions that surround our football program,” LSU head coach Ed Orgeron said. “LSU is going to take the lead in what we think will become the wave of the future and that’s field turf in the colors of your school. The installation of the purple field turf will add to the excitement of a Saturday Night in Tiger Stadium and this team will enjoy the opportunity to play on what will be the finest surface in football.”
