New turf in the Dome

Re: New turf in the Dome

So, lets start the new debate. How do you all want the field painted? I want the new logo at the 50 as we did last year, with unpainted enzones with purple and gold lettered Panthers in them.

As long as the majority of the field is green, I really couldn't care less what color the endzones are, or what logo is put at midfield

Hmm, it seems that they have an extra zero in that first line.
maybe they'll make the same mistake on the check. ;op

Re: New turf in the Dome

a black field with purple numbers and yellow lines would be rad

Green field.

New Panther logo at mid-field. But with purple Panther head, not yellow.

Purple end zones with "Panthers" in text and mini-logos on each end that are similar to the one at mid-field.

Color scheme overall needs to be heavy on the purple and easy on the yellow.

And get a neon pink ball. And we can black out the skylight and put in blacklights.

That'd be quite the experience.....
or something

Re: New turf in the Dome

No announcement by the University yet. I'd be quite surprised to see it installed by fall.

Re: New turf in the Dome

I don't think it could take too long to install. Afterall, it is going to have the capability to come off and on for track. I would be surprised if they don't get it in there pretty soon.

I believe that it is an NCAA rule that the field has to be green. From NCAA football 09 when they have tid bits about the teams when you bring up Boise State and their blue field it says there is an NCAA rule, so I'm pretty sure that it will be a green field.

I'm pretty sure that is a myth.
There is nothing in the NCAA football rulebook mandating any particular color for a football field.

That being said, I think having artificial turf of any color other than green is dumb.

This is perfect!

We just need to hope that the AD feels that the dimensions of the dome are too small to even think about playing soccer in there and to not paint soccer lines on the field. Every turf field in the Gateway has soccer lines and it makes me want to

Just like most every volleyball court in the Valley has basketball lines on it.
