The stadium uses three different artificial surfaces: one football surface marked for the Cowboys (Star at the 50-yard line, colored end zones, NFL hashes, etc.), a college football field (no extra markings, NCAA hashes), and a soccer pitch.
Crews are mechanically and manually "brushing" the college turf, making sure the rubberized pellets are fully integrated into the turf blades.
