New RealGrass turf at Bowers Stadium a hit with players

It has only been a few days, but the Sam Houston State football players are already noticing the difference of the new playing surface at Bowers Stadium.
Last month, Hellas Construction completed the installation of RealGrass Pro, an artificial playing surface designed to feel like natural grass. It hasn't taken long for the Bearkats to take notice.
“It feels so much better running around on this stuff,” said linebacker Luke McCall. “You can make your cuts better. On Astroturf you had to plan your moves in advance and think more about your footwork. Now I can just react and go. I have more confidence in what I'm doing on the field.”
