WEATHERFORD, Okla. – A new turf project has begun this week inside the confines of Milam Stadium that will give Flex-Chem Field a new look.
 
The current playing surface of Flex-Chem Field is being removed and replaced by sports construction company Mammoth over the next six weeks in preparation for the 2022 season.
 
"We cannot thank our supporters enough," said SWOSU Athletic Director Todd Helton. "We're so excited to be getting the new turf that will give student-athletes an improved surface for both safety and performance, and hope everyone is as proud of the final product as we are."
 
The new field will feature updated logos at midfield and in both endzones and will alternate every five yards with lighter and darker green turf. In the center of the field, SWOSU's bulldog head spans over 10 yards and sits inside the state of Oklahoma colored blue and outlined in white. The endzone logos have also been updated and now spell out 'SWOSU' in the school's script writing. Flex-Chem sponsor logos also appear centered on both 25-yard lines.
 
Installation of the new turf is estimated to be complete by mid-June.
 
The Bulldogs will get to play on their new turf in the second game of the season on September 10 at the Flex-Chem Football Classic when they host Southern Arkansas.
