they're almost maroon (not a VT thing because all fields are that way) rather than a tan or color closer to the color of dirt?

they are maroon on every turf field I've ever seen, so it's not for VT** -- Vienna_Hokie Dec 01, 2023 at 03:11 PM ET

I believe the surface was needed. The old one was getting worn looking. -- HokieJack Nov 30, 2023 at 08:53 PM ET
