Please RSVP to the SID office by Sept. 9. Nebraska replaced its Astroturf-8 in Memorial Stadium and from the Cook Pavilion indoor workout facility this year with FieldTurf. FieldTurf emulates the look and feel of blades of grass by blending polyethylene and polypropylene, which specially treats the surface to be soft, smooth and strong. The 2.50-inch blades are resistant to extremes in temperature and have an ultraviolet protectant to help resist fading. Each field was filled with 200,000 pounds of ground rubber, recycled from Nebraska tires, and silica sand.
