Hope there isn't a huge contrast between the real turf and FieldTurf border when things start and as next season goes along. 
 

Is there any word on what type of grass is being used? I was reading awhile back about buffalo grass that is slow-growing, doesn't require much for watering, and stays green for longer and was like... just for the name, we ought to be having some of that in the grass seed blend.

 

I'm assuming there will be some testing done on how it holds up to foot traffic & sports use either in a couple of months or at latest in early spring. 

I'd like to know how far the grass goes over the sidelines.  Going from grass to turf right on the edge seems like it would be dangerous so I'd imagine it going to carry over a few feet at least.

I saw the warming pipes laid under that turf. I hope they remembered to put them under the fake turf sidelines too
