It takes multiple years for a good sod to establish. Every field I've seen get replaced is pretty bad the first year because the roots haven't taken place. But it will be worth it in the end.

It's got a full summer, but wouldn't it take another season to have full roots?

Hopefully the roots take hold better than they did the last time (I think) they replaced it.

Was Max Hall's senior year the last time it was done?
