Re: New turf in the Dome
Yeah, interesting. I also read about a blight in Mexico affecting the mescale plant, which is only grown there and used to make tequila. Given this, people are predicting tequila shortages in 5-10 years due to the aging process. Assuming this is true, there are a bunch of higher end bars/restaurants with lists of premium tequila that have to be sweating a bit.Originally posted by Whitey81 View PostComment

Re: New turf in the Dome
No really they are going to have to import it. I thought about making a rice patty here in Cedar Falls with all this ran.Originally posted by clenz View Post
Its going to be harder for people to import rice because of the shortage. I dont know of very many rice patties in the USOnly person in the dome with a PURPLE shirt from 2005 and a red hat on

Reports are the Rams have looked at Univ Wisc Oshkosh and Whitewater. Oshkosh has been ruled out.Originally posted by UNI MadCat View Post
""It came down to the location of the stadium," Sims said. "I sensed a little reluctance in their voices because I think they felt all the other components were there. It was really simply based on transporting players from campus to the stadium (with the Wisconsin Street bridge closed) that did not fit in with the way they've done things in the past."

Re: New turf in the Dome
The Rodgers Center (Formerly The Sky Dome) has sections of the turf that are removed on pallets and stored, Looks like a parquet floor at times.
I am guessing based on the fact that most of the installs you see in the $1 million range include grading and drainage (not necessary in the case of dome), putting in a permanent turf infill system (with pad) would run less than $750,000. Putting in a pallet system including storage building at a cost of $500,000 would probably run about $2 million.Comment

Re: New turf in the Dome
Awright, I'll swallow my pride and admit I stand corrected. Reading through everything I can find on the intertubes, the cost of a fieldturf install would be most likely be in the $2-3 million range. I went off earlier without reading FieldTurf's own website where they tout their tray system for multi-purpose arenas.
Dangit. Anyone here work for the Ministry of Truth and would be willing to strike my posts from the record? ;D
That said, there are still some downsides to that sort of system. Mainly is setup/teardown costs. From what I read, it takes a crew 8-12 hours to install or breakdown the field -- anyone know what it takes for the current surface?Comment

Re: New turf in the Dome
This is just another thought that ran through my head...Would it be possible to somehow dig down through the floor of the dome to make storage space?UNI FIGHT

Re: New turf in the Dome
how about when it comes to the labor of taking the turf in or out hiriing college students for work study or getting volunteers. I think it would be a good opportunity to get some of the Ind. Tech majors involved that way, or just getting the general student body involved.
Or is there some sort of certification needed to do that kind of thingComment
