New turf in the Dome

Re: New turf in the Dome

I agree with much that has been stated. We need to address alot of these issues to make sure we have Elite level FCS facilities going forward.

One other area that nobody discusses is the endowing football scholarships.

Would be sweet to get one named after Panther Nation!!!!!

See, I would consider it a better investment to leave the color of the seats alone (as well as the exterior facade of the building) and put that money towards the scholarship fund, or operating costs, or whatever. Much better use.

Granted, if the seatbacks are going to be replaced altogether anyway, then discussion of a color change would certainly be valid if that is the consensus. Otherwise it seems like a waste of money.

The only improvement I would like to see is a National Championship banner hanging in the dome. Anything else they do to it wouldn't look as good as the banner.

1. I'm color blind so everything looks purple to me so no big deal.
2. The more comfortable the more people sit so keep them as hard as a "rock".

Huzzah!



On a side note, does the message board thing outside (east side, I believe) the Dome no longer function? Or did they just turn it off for the summer?

If it's broken, I don't think it would be worth repairing, as it is rather outdated. And if a replacement is in the works, I would think a better location could be found. There is very limited visibility at it's current location.

I'm not sure a replacement is even needed, but if they were looking to put up a new message board/sign/etc., I would think that putting one on each side of the ped bridge over Hudson Rd. (by the art building) would be a useful spot. Cars traveling on Hudson would have a much longer period of viewing time if it was placed above their lanes.

My thoughts exactly, I was about to post the same thing. I have a feeling though, a NC banner will be hung sometime within the next 5 years.

They've been continually repairing it for a number of years.

A new sign with a UNI logo and full color message center on the far NE corner of the UNI-Dome lot (by the entrance to the north/"Siberia" lot would be the best place, IMHO.

True. Spending any money on changing the color of the seats is stupid.
