were on grass from Alabama. Same as BDS.
A small piece of turf from Bent Oak Farm in Baldwin County, which is providing the playing surface for the Feb. 1 Super Bowl in Glendale, Ariz.
Bent Oak also provides the turf for Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa and Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn, as well as the major league baseball stadiums of the Atlanta Braves and Miami Marlins and the NFL stadiums of the Jacksonville Jaguars and Miami Dolphins.
Alabama and Auburn replace their turf annually, Lipscomb said.
One reason Alabama has to is because the stands are so tall since the stadium was last enlarged that the grass only gets about two hours of sunlight a day, he said.
Lipscomb said he considers the repeat business from Bent Oak's customers an affirmation that the company has a great product. He's appreciative that the NFL is willing to use turf hauled almost all the way across the country.
"They're going to go by a lot of grass farms between here and there," he said.
