The Arizona Wildcats will have a new playing surface beginning next season, as they’ve elected to get rid of natural grass in favor of synthetic field turf.

And now we know what it’s going to look like.

Athletic director Greg Byrne tweeted a photo of what the new field will look like.

The end zones are blue with “Arizona” spelled out in red, there is the block A logo at midfield and a watermark-ish “Bear Down” stretching across the turf.

Not bad.
