Earlier this week, Texas Longhorns athletics director Chris Del Conte held his annual town hall meeting and fielded a question about the artificial playing surfaces at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium and UFCU Disch-Falk Field.
“In the football stadium, I do anticipate probably changing the rug this year we’ve got to do something because that thing is about 12 years old, but that does not mean that we will not go to grass at some point in time,” Del Conte said.
The decision will come down to a conversation between Del Conte and new football coach Steve Sarkisian about what Sarkisian wants and needs.
