Years
ago, LSU decided to move to Celebration Bermudagrass across their sports facilities. Over the years, the athletic grounds staff has installed Celebration on the soccer, softball, baseball, practice fields and the crown jewel, football’ s Tiger Stadium. Across the maintenance spectrum for Celebration, the LSU grounds staff have been innovators. They continue to produce a championship product year in and year out.
“ For us at LSU, all our athletic fields that we compete on are all Celebration. So the( football) stadium, softball, soccer, our practice facilities, Alex Box, our baseball stadium, they’ re all Celebration as well. Celebration for us just works and it’ s a good fit.”
— TREVOR AUSTIN, LSU SPORTS TURF MANAGER
