We play on a base turf called MS Choice it is a Bermuda Grass developed at MSU. The 49rs and Chargers both play on the same grass the call it Bullseye out west. We overseed our field in the fall with ryegrass (when it will grow in the south). but as far as grass that growis in and dies out in a week that is not possible.
He talked to the turf guys about if Les Miles would want to eat the grass and they laughed and said knowing what goes into making it look that good, they wouldn't. <div>
</div><div>Apparently I misinterpreted the statements somewhat. You seem to have some pretty good knowledge on it and I will defer to you. But the main point was that we cut it down and reseed after every game (like, right after the game. Within 30 minutes) so the top is pretty much always clean and new. They were asking a question about why the field was so clear and the hashmarks, etc weren't still there.</div>

MS Choice is what's on the field.....grass that can grow to maturity in one week....that wld be hard to do....and we prob wldnt have the financial issues we do....
If you re-seed every week, it will keep growing and the grass planted from a few weeks before will be mature.
