Is UL's field turf or grass? I've been confused reading some things on here. If its a washout rain, will it be a mudder, or just wet turf? Just curious...

Yeah, I saw the thread, thanks for the info. I was just just curious when I read "synthetic" turf.... As in, will it chunk up like grass, etc? I just was not sure about that aspect, not necessarily the forecast...

It's FieldTurf (link below), like most of the new age 'synthetic' fields. (i.e. - Ole Miss, West Virginia, domed stadiums, etc.). There shouldn't be any issues with the actual surface other than normal slickness associated with rain.
