Any word on what they are going to do with the old turf?

Re: New Turf
It's hard to imagine the entire field being usable for anyone else. I hope they sell it in chunks of varying size as a fundraiser for the athletic department.
The free 1 foot squares from the last turf were a cool idea, but I'd like to see them make some money out of it this time.__________________

Re: New Turf
It got people to buy tickets to get the free turf, I don't think we can expect people to pay anything for for it.Comment

Re: New Turf
I don't mind the state of Iowa outline and I like that they are carrying purple up the sidelines. Updated font in the endzones. Nothing too crazy, just a good, sensible update that should look good for several years.__________________

Re: New Turf
Great design overall with the exception of the state of Iowa outline, I'd have rather seen them just use our logo and alternate shades of green every 5 yards

Re: New Turf
I sure hope this is better. I'm going off memory here but wasn't the turf we installed 7 years ago like $800k? Surprised that 7 years later a better solution is only $100k more.
Can anyone even find PureGrass? on the AstroTurf website?"I think they're very good," Farley said of the preseason top 25 Hawkeyes. "But so are we."Comment

I bought my TV in 2009. It's a 47" HD "slim" TV. It was $1,300. Today I can go get a similar sized 4K smart TV that is 1/4 of the thickness for significantly less than that.Comment

Re: New Turf
I think turf is more closely related to say building materials than Electronics. Have building materials gone down in price the last 7 years?Originally posted by claw View Post"I think they're very good," Farley said of the preseason top 25 Hawkeyes. "But so are we."Comment

Re: New Turf
I like it. I could take or leave the state outline, but it does provide a solid background for the school logo. Probably would not look as good with a striped background.
Maybe having the state outline will remind people that yes there is a third DI university in the state of Iowa.GO PANTHERS!Comment

Re: New Turf
The underlayer appears to be the same stuff used by Duke, Stanford, Iowa, Louisville, Maryland, Richmond, Virginia, Ball State, William and Mary, Ohio State and a few others.
The turf is the same stuff as the
Houston Texans
Toronto Bluejays
Alamo Dome
Arizona Cardinals practice field that gets rolled out in the stadium
North Dakota State
North Dakota
South Dakota
St Louis Rams (RIP)Comment
