The Virginia football team christened two new natural grass fields on Aug. 10, the day of the first official practice of the 2020 season.

“Being on two brand-new grass fields is another step for our program,” said head coach Bronco Mendenhall, who noted he was grateful for the administration and UVA donors for helping to make the project happen. “It’s a symbolic and meaningful marker of some of the work we’ve done over the past four years. It’s been an amazing period of growth.”
