Do they replace every year, or every several years?

The average football venue gets néw sod every season. I couldn't find exact dates on Frank Howard Field. I expect it's a yearly re-sod.

They roll out sod. Sprig grass would take too long. They do add seed to the sod during the season. All college & professional venues follow pretty much the same schedule. Pro stadiums re-sod before playoff games just days before the game sometimes. The science is amazing in acclimating the turf instantly. There are even degrees available for those wishing to go into this growing science. I couldn't find any exact dates on new sod added in Death Valley. It is scheduled soon I know!

If I remember correctly, as it was posted on the IPTAY website, or even possibly on TNET, they really sod every 2 or 3 years. Could be wrong. Can't wait for Football to start. GO TIGERS!!!

Yes, I remember reading that the turf will be replaced every 4 to 5 years.
Here is the story:
“We've been talking about parking, but the cool thing is that The Valley has been pretty good shape,” Neff said. “It's been really impressive. We're looking to replace the field in Death Valley prior to the spring. This will be the fifth year, and it's kind of on a four to five year cycle is what's usually good for that turf, so we're looking to redo the whole surface this upcoming spring of 2016. From the last redo four years ago, it's held up great. That's been the primary focus from a playability and player safety standpoint, but it's been in really good shape. Hopefully, it will be by BC. I talked with our grounds guy yesterday, and Mike said that after BC, it might need a little TLC between the hashes.”
