The irrational reason Texas Tech is not replacing the Jones Stadium turf
In the arms race that is modern day college football, every detail of a program matters. Whether it is the program’s amenities, the uniforms or the appearance of the stadium, college football teams are constantly under pressure to keep up with their rivals on every level.
Though it may not seem like a critical aspect of a program’s success, the appearance and look of a team’s stadium has a major impact on the perception of the program, especially in the minds of high school recruits. Therefore, the news that Texas Tech will not be replacing its current field turf playing surface is disappointing.
