2. The turf is Tifway-419, a Bermuda hybrid.

3. When the field is in play, a few inches of water remains to keep the turf moist.

4. The field features 94,000 square feet (that’s over 2 acres!) of natural grass.

5. The stadium was voted #1 natural grass playing field in the most recent NFL Players survey.
