The original was from a barely used Saints Turf.

That was the turf in the ipf.

The original turf at Cajun field was Pro Grass if I remember correctly.

The Teurlings and Clark field turf is Geosurfaces turf. Teurlings has a turf track too. (I designed both Teurlings and Clark Field)

I thought that went into the indoor practice facility, but I could be wrong.

You are correct. The first IPF turf was the Superdome Katrina turf. The current IPF turf is the original Cajun Field turf.

Although the same design and black end zones, I don’t believe it’s the same turf.

You’re probably right. That turf was beat up and after removal it was even worse.

If I remember correctly the first turf at Cajun field was Field Turf not pro grass

Isn't playing on natural grass more beneficial to the players? Newly renovated OLOL Cajun Field ought to return to our roots with a grass playing field. Just put the artificial stuff on the sidelines if that's possible.
