If you drive past the Johnson C. Smith University football field this week, you’ll see construction workers and a lot of bare dirt.

A sign that hangs on the fence reads: “Coming Soon…Golden Bulls Turf Field.”

Why it matters: A number of Historically Black College and University football programs have decided to change to turf fields, due to maintenance required for grass.

QCity Metro reached out to a JCSU spokesperson but could not get further details on Tuesday.
