At the annual town hall meeting back in April, Texas Longhorns athletics director Chris Del Conte fielded a question about the playing surface at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium and indicated that a change was coming.
Just not the change desired by a vocal portion of the fanbase.
“In the football stadium, I do anticipate probably changing the rug this year — we’ve got to do something because that thing is about 12 years old, but that does not mean that we will not go to grass at some point in time,” Del Conte said.
