Why didn't we do this with Scott Field

You're blaming him for not being the first person to think of a new idea? That's pretty rough.
People in the know re: turf, help me out here
$400 for 450 sq. feet of sod (that you then have to come and pick up). The superfans who purchase this are getting fleeced, right?
And some MLB teams do a similar marketing gimmick with grass seed. SO STRIKE 2 ON FIELD-RELATED REVENUE STREAMS, STRICKLIND!!!

Hell NO!
It's the honor of buying sacred grass.
But I'm not aware of a turf sale going on at Scott Field.
Right now anyway!

Seriously?.....
The AD hasn't sold grass and that means he's 'over his head'? Its just grass BTW. And its not like it has been down that long as most fields are re-sodded every 5 years or so or that anything that special has happened on it.
An acquaintance of mine has the contract to haul away the sod off of Turner field when they re-sod every few years. It is taken out and replaced to a thickness of 4 inches so there is a lot of topsoil with it. He piles it uo, allows the grass to die and sells the top soil to landscapers.

No doubt. Stricklin not selling our grass is clear proof he is in over his head
Along with damn near every other AD in the country

Mississippi ain't California or Colorado. Do you really dislike him so much that you want to see him jailed? You know he would lose his job if he got caught selling grass. Man...
I know every dollar counts but a lost chance at $60k in revenues make Stricklin in over his head when the expenditures of the AD were $51.58 million in 2011 (easiest recent year I could find because of an article online)?

I imagine the cost of removing the sod and transport it would eat into that $60,000 pretty quick.
Dudy Noble turf
When the dude was expanded, in about 1986 under Polk, to raise money, they sold square feet of the infield. I purchased a few square feet and framed the title certificates that I received for the purchase.
