Photos of new turf at Illinois Field

I stopped by Illinois Field to observe the new turf for the first time.  I had the camera with me and took a few photos.  The gates were closed, of course, but I managed to zoom in enough for you to get the idea.

This is a few mounds of Hilltopper Mound & Mound Homeplate Clay waiting to used.

TTI Sports was the firm employed to install the “Field Turf”.

Now, some shots of the field:

First home game for the Illini is April 2!
