The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory. -

Re: New turf in the Dome
If they haven't decided on a kind yet, and if they are certain extra fundraising must occur, it certainly won't be for this season.
That's too bad, but that old turf looks like it might have one last conference championship left in her.Comment

Re: New turf in the Dome
Hard to believe it only had an eight year life expectancy but has been used for 14. That's getting your $ worth.If computers ruled college basketball the way they do football, we'd have skipped all this March Madness monotony and just waited a month for the Kansas-Kentucky title game. And watched Northern Iowa play Cornell in the Poulan Weedeater Bowl. ~ Dwight Perry The Seattle Times

FWIW, they're installing the new turf in Iowa City this week (and last). They took the opportunity to change the endzones (black with gold lettering) and went with a look closer to Oregon's field than what Kinnick has traditionally looked like.Comment

Re: New turf in the Dome
I'm not a big fan of the different colored / "stripe" look like they have at Oregon or Nebraska. I'd prefer something more subtle or traditional. Of course, I am a big fan of new turf for UNI no matter what it looks like, I guess...well within reason.Comment

I hate the two toned stuff that Nebraska and Oregon have.UNI FIGHT

I think the two toned look can work if it is sublte. If done right, it can look like real grass that was just mowed to have the two tone look. Iowa had the two toned look sometimes with the real grass:

Northwest Missouri went with that two tone look also. I find it annoying...but someone must like it.Originally posted by 06panther10 View PostComment

I wonder if they will end up doing something like that.Originally posted by CR Panther View Post
Now I'm not saying that they could make all that much off of selling off the "souvenir pieces".
But it's a neat alternative to just throwing the stuff out.Comment

Re: New turf in the Dome
Gary had the president of the blackhawk county gaming association and OPR today and it was his impression that the turf would be installed in time for football season. With the $500,000 grant covering a significant portion maybe they can move forward without having the project 100% funded to start with.
I wonder if it will stay as sheriff field or maybe a corporate sponsor will come in?"I think they're very good," Farley said of the preseason top 25 Hawkeyes. "But so are we."Comment
