Now that it's over???

Soccer fields, IIRC, are both longer and wider then football fields. Therefore, it would be a soccer field of very odd dimensions in the dome. Therefore, that shouldn't be a concern.

would putting a track surface on top of field turf possibly damage or shorten the lifespan of the turf?

soccer lines wouldn't be near as bad as some of the stadiums that have baseball dirt in the middle of the football field. (not typically at the college level, just some pro stadiums)

[MeOW!]

Earlier this year when I was touring the yet to be completed Mac, they talked about having a track that connects the concourse level of the Mac, then extend the Concourse of the Dome (level with the concessions) all the way around the Dome and connect that with the HPC and the indoor track in WRC to have one continous loop. Don't know what happened with that, but you got to figure if they do that to the Dome, they should fix others things too.

Just wanted to highlight what uninisg originally said.

The 'walkway' will link the concourses of the buildings together, not cover the field turf.

For more clarification, this 'walkway' would start on the concourse level of the McLeod Center continue on through the Hall of Fame skywalk, continue on through the concourse level of the Dome, go through the skywalk to the indoor track on the upper level of the WRC and eventually take you into the Human Performance Center.

How this got taken out of context as being a new track surface on top of the turf is beyond me!

I suggested a track on top of the turf (as the above wouldn't be a competition track) because I didn't realize that there was field turf that could be 'picked up.'

Field Turf is the way to go. It feels and acts like grass.

[JayJ79]

can you SMOKE it?
oops, not that kind of grass....

I like the idea of putting luxury suites on the North side. I'm sure that they could be sold or rented out.

Some potential businesses:

Deery Brothers
John Deere
Barmuda
University Book
US Cellular

I'm sure there are more.

The Big Buck-aroos like to be treated well, so maybe that's the ticket for more people in the Dome.
