Gary Patterson sits in the heart of TCU’s athletic complex in his office, which is adorned with bowl rings, signed pictures with program alumni and trophies. But he doesn’t want to talk about any of that. He wants to talk about the grass.
Amon G. Carter Stadium is out the window with a dirt field as the crew prepares to install a new playing surface. Apparently, the new grass is being installed by the same company that puts in the grass at Augusta National Golf Club. It’s a similar grass to the practice field, which survived a 110-play scrimmage in pouring rain with limited upkeep.
