Turf Watch

Re: Turf Watch

Remember there is a wide white strip along the out of bounds line. They would probably use white turf rather than put in green and paint it.

Re: Turf Watch

Question for those that have seen it up close -

the green turf on the camera does not appear to go from stands to stands. Am I not seeing some turf folded over in the web pics, or will it only go from boundary to boundary? Other pieces to be glued together later??

From what I could tell when I was in there yesterday, they are going to have green until the OB line, lay an white OB strip down, then finish off with more green. Could be way off though, but that is what it looks liek

Re: Turf Watch

and judging from the roller running over it, I would assume the white stuff is a glue and the roller is bonding it together more

Re: Turf Watch

I was just on campus for some business and checked out the turf. I'm impressed already and it's nowhere near what it will look like when completed. Panther fans, trust me!!!! This field is going to be awesome. It's a gorgeous green. The gold letters on the most POWERFULL PURPLE endzones you can imagaine are downright eyepopping! The logo in the middle? No words to describe how strong that looks, and I saw just a portion of it. We're about to enjoy "The Field of Screams." For the opponent, it becomes
"The Field of Nighmares."

Re: Turf Watch

Our guys are now going to hit the road without carrying all the extra wear and tear they'd get from that old turf. Visiting teams cried about a single week - imagine the shape we must've been in after 6 or more games, plus some practices, on that stuff. We won't be beat to hell before late-season (or playoff) road games.

You tell me - how excited must the rest of the league be?

This makes me happy, maybe this year we can actually get to the champioship with having a good part of the team injured... Iowa also put in FieldTurf, so it won't be any change for the Cats come Sept...

The second photo gallery gives a great up-close look at what the turf looks like.

Understood - I would concur

Re: Turf Watch

Went to the Dome last night to check out the turf. It looks AWESOME! The purple and yellow at midfield and the end zones are VERY bright. This will be a huge improvement to the dome. Also the North dome project looks great as well. The two luxury boxes being built in the north endzone will add alot to the dome. I can't wait until football season!

Re: Turf Watch

I can't wait until Sept. 12! First home game and first Dome tailgate! Everyone better be out there flying flags and tailgating!! I just bought a 17' car tailgate flag and can't wait to use it! I'm thinking a UNI flag on the top then below it a pirate flag I found that says "DEATH ZONE, NO PRISONERS", which is what I think the official motto of the UNI dome should be!

No kidding, with a record like we have at home, that'd be amazing. Oh, and if said flag is purchased, I will be requiring a picture taken with it.
