So I wrote Mr. Haslam about the possibilities of cutting up the new turf.....here was his response below.
Thanks for the email. Excited to replace the turf at Washington-Grizzly Stadium that is for sure.
Cutting off pieces of the turf and trying to resell for this project just isn’t going to work. We are under such a timeline crunch to get this done as quickly as possible makes it a real hassle for FieldTurf to try and carve off pieces and then cut them up. The scope of work provided by FieldTurf includes them removing and repurposing the old turf and they got going quickly to roll up the old turf to transport it out.
Anyway…I apologize. If this project hadn’t come up with such a small window to get it done we could have planned for pieces to be held back. But, once the Regents gave approval there was very little time before the turf was getting removed. We really couldn’t start cutting it up until Regents approval in case we were going to have to play on it for one more year.
Hope this all makes sense. Thanks so much for the email and support of Grizzly athletics.

Sooooooo I'm guessing the company just does what it pleases with the old turf.....
time for some of you stalkers with deep pockets to get out the checkbook and flatbed and go get us some turf!!!!

Oh shit I never thought about the fact it could only be cut into chunks inside the stadium/before it is rolled up. Drop it off in my yard I'll cut it up and send it to people. Jesus monkey tits.BadlandsGrizFan said:

Back before synthetic turf, come December the Griz DID play on dirt. In fact it was a huge advantage with the turf teams came to town. It sure equalized the speed that many of the southern teams seemed to have. WA Griz was the place southern teams came to die on the dirt.Yukon said:

If I remember correctly, the Champions Center is $14M, the video board is paid for by Learfield and the turf is $500K. This is just coming from memory and I didn't bother to actually look it up, but I guess that puts it about $14.5M. I could be totally wrong though!

and the turf will be paid for from the payout of the 2017 Huskies game.
I drove by there not too long ago and I thought about sneaking in and burying a nice little BOBCAT key fob in there before they lay the turf. Then I remember when Alphie did that (buried a griz keepsake) before they put down the red turf at EWU (And posted pictures of him doing so). That was just flat out a bad idea, you haven't won there yet. :lol:
