    Re: the terf in the dome bad already?

    Is the track something that is installed or is it under the football field?

        We have had it for three years and still can't figure out the best shoe to wear on it. You see guys in everything from plain tennis shoes to full on cleats and everybody is still slipping and sliding...
        You could go to something like NDSU is putting in this summer but installing it isn't cheap. I think it costs like $3-4 million but it is the only way you can have modern turf that is easy to remove. The entire field rolls up and is stored in a pit under the south endzone.
