The first two photos are of giant bags of SOMETHING with a Nike Grind label on them... here's the skinny.

For many years, Nike has worked closely with FieldTurf, a leading innovator of synthetic turf, to make some of the best athletic surfaces in the world. FieldTurf's high-performance synthetic turf incorporates Nike Grind material recycled from footwear manufacturing to help elite athletes and active kids to play their best game.

It's from the same company, not sure if that means same turf.

What's this about no cost maintenance? They haven't even planted it and it looks like it needs cutting already!

These are great. We keep watching progress every morning and evening. As soon as it is done I promised my son we would visit BG to walk on it. I hope I don't get us both arrested. Mother won't be happy.

The bottom bit of it will be surrounded by "dirt" (that nike shoegrind) Only the top half or so will be visible.

I wasn't real obvious about the link... but if you click the picasaweb link above, there's a dozen or so more photos of the Doyt and the gorgeous evening at DLP Stadium last night. Check them all out if you haven't!
