Was reading on Jacksfans about how high school teams will be playing/have played on their field before Saturday and it's in rough, muddy shape. Weather is a factor, that's why we need an outdoor stadium, with grass!

Re: Poor Field Conditions @ SDSU......
Weather.com says no precip between now and Saturday, with a high Sat of 50 and partly cloudy. I don't think it will be that bad.Originally posted by Cap'n Cat View PostWas reading on Jacksfans about how high school teams will be playing/have played on their field before Saturday and it's in rough, muddy shape.

They need to keep high schools games off the field...what a joke. -
Re: Poor Field Conditions @ SDSU......
If high schools are playing on it then I have two words...field turf. Course, the cows and sheep will go hungry in the off season

Re: Poor Field Conditions @ SDSU......
Our only game on real grass during the whole regular season.
Though our team does practice outside on grass, so it's not like it's totally unfamiliarComment

Re: Poor Field Conditions @ SDSU......
Just one HS team plays on it. And they paid for the lights so they aren't going anywhere. SDSU, the city of Brookings and the Brookings School System have a pretty sweet joint use agreement in which they all rely on each other for various things. In a town of our size, it's a must.Originally posted by Mountain Panther View Post
I think field turf will be coming in a couple of years. I sure will miss the natural grass.Originally posted by Panther-Sheik View PostIf high schools are playing on it then I have two words...field turf. Course, the cows and sheep will go hungry in the off seasonComment

Re: Poor Field Conditions @ SDSU......
I love grass too, but if it is being used for multiple events every week, field turf is a must.UNI FIGHT

Re: Poor Field Conditions @ SDSU......
Actually, between BHS and SDSU, there are 10 games on the field this year. That's hardly a problem... so long as it doesn't rain cats and dogs... oh, wait.Originally posted by 06panther10 View Post

Re: Poor Field Conditions @ SDSU......
Kind of a tangent,
but I'm reckoning that it's safe to say that Stan Sheriff Field in the UNI-Dome is the most-used football field in the state.
(5-6 UNI home games + a good chance of at least one playoff game, CFHS games, NUHS games, plus they'll often have games featuring smaller schools towards the end of the season, then the HS playoff games held there, youth football games, not to mention FB practices, marching band practice, public/student/intramural use, etc.)Comment

And Rolling Stones, The Who, Marshall Tucker Band, Fleetwood Mac, etc. Of course, that was back in the day.................can we start another nostalgia thread?!?!?!?!?Some people feel the rain..........others just get wet.

that was before my time.Originally posted by bobsboy84 View Post
But I'm pretty sure they rolled up the turf for those events, and thus they weren't played on the football field. ;op
speaking of rolling up the turf, they're holding some sorts of Arts & Crafts show in the Dome this weekend. Will this be the first time that the new turf has been rolled up since it's installation?Comment

I played my entire playing career at Stambaugh Stadium when I was in high school. Of course we had field turf!Comment

Re: Poor Field Conditions @ SDSU......
I'm not a big fan of indoor football, but UNI deserves a lot of credit for putting a modern playing surface in the UNIDome. Some people... (I'm looking at you, USD, UND, and NDSU) still play on carpeted concrete.Comment

Re: Poor Field Conditions @ SDSU......
It costs a lot of $$$. Without a grant, UNI would still be playing on the concrete.Originally posted by JimmyJack View PostIf 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.

Re: Poor Field Conditions @ SDSU......
The Argus Leader beat reporter who covers the Jacks just tweeted a photo of the turf at Coughlin-Alumni Stadium. It looks OK to me:
