My assumption is the black areas are rubber pellets that just need to be worked in, but it's the whiter or lighter areas that makes it look like a lower quality turf to me. Hopefully, I'm wrong and we just need a better picture.

Could be worse, I suppose. Like Tampa Bay Rays worse...

AstroTurf is a name brand, not the old concrete carpet from the dome days. Its field turf, just a different name. Not sure if you watched the college kickoff @ Reliant, but I believe its the same turf. It'll look fine come game time.

Are you sure they didn't just knock the rat $#!t out of the old Astrodome turf and install it at NRG? Starting to think Bottom-Line Bud Adams runs this team.

BTW, I'm just messing around. I know it was a short turnaround on the turf and you go with what you have for this year rather than buy new. I just hope they make it right and get a quality surface in there (w/o the taxpayers footing the bill!).

Bye Bye, Bullard. Apparently, he can't kick on artificial turf.
