Jerry Jones, agronomist, says Levi’s Stadium sod passes his test

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones joined the chorus last week criticizing the new turf at Levi’s Stadium, saying he might sit some starters because of the uncertainty about the grass.

But after putting them on it Sunday night, Jones said he owed the 49ers an apology.

“I want everyone to know that I hadn’t done the Jones’ test; I hadn’t got down and looked at the roots, seriously,” Jones said. “And I owe them an apology. They’re taking heat as it is and I should understand more than anybody how hard they’re trying, how much they want to get it right.
