I went up to the campus yesterday after the South Carolina game and saw the Field was dug up. Anyone know if it is just normal winter work on the turf or are they doing something more substantial? It's where they're planning on burying the basketball program. I teed that up too easily

Turf replacement. A normal turf is good for 10-12 years but since Georgetown uses it 18 hours a day, it needs to be replaced sooner, about every eight years or so. That's what I figured but I wasn't sure if they were laying a new drainage system.

Fixed! Looks good. Now update all the old text about completion being halted without any followup. The text under the new photo: “The field has been awaiting further construction since 2005, when work was halted on completing permanent bleachers and other facilities. As a result, it remains the smallest stadium in all of NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision or Football Championship subdivisions.[4] During the 2018 and 2019 seasons, attendance was reduced to 1,800 pending ongoing construction. Several of the school athletics teams play home games there, including the Hoyas football team, the men's and women's lacrosse teams, the women's field hockey team, and the Georgetown University Rugby Football Club. The professional Washington Bayhawks of Major League Lacrosse used the field for most of their games during the 2007 season.[5] Lights were installed on the field in early 2009. The surface is artificial, made of FieldTurf.” First sentence of the Cooper Field wiki entry as of September 29, 2022…. “The field has been awaiting further construction since 2005, when work was halted on completing permanent bleachers and other facilities. As a result, it remains the smallest stadium in all of NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision or Football Championship subdivisions.[4]”
