Replacing it with an artificial playing surface.

Old artificial turf from the field at the Seahawks' stadium is tossed into piles and loaded into dump trucks Thursday afternoon, Feb. 28, 2008, in Seattle. The six-year-old FieldTurf synthetic playing surface had faded and become compacted and is being replaced by a new version of the same product, which will be placed atop a one-inch poured rubber layer, on top of the existing base. The Seahawks began playing in the 67,000 seat stadium in 2002. (AP Photo/Elaine Thompson)

I totally sympathize with you Seahawker. My withdrawal symptoms are starting to kick it and its starting to hurt bad. I really miss it and it doesnt seem like it will ever get here at this point.
