Turf/ Jumbotron Thread

[ThePiombino]

Yeah, that is ridiculous. I don't know how anyone can think that this constant maintenance/replacement of sod is a good thing.

Especially when it keeps team off the field for practice, as it did yesterday.

 

[micks60]

I just think it is dumb that they practice all week/year on turf and then when it matters they play on grass. Makes a ton of sense.

I don't get the "it puts us at a disadvantage" angle. Within the context of a game, our opponents are playing on the same surface we are, whether it's asphalt or snow or lime Jell-o.

It's not about being at a disadvantage. It's about the ridiculous fact that the field has been worked on three times this season already. That's just dumb when there are other options.

I agree! It's Friday!

 

[ulukinatme]

You know something, Jimmy?

 

[Damion704]

Hmmm

 

[Pops Freshenmeyer]

Two smiley faces for field turf and three smiley faces for a video board...

What if theres 5?

 

[ACamp1900]

He's just happy that when he goes streaking it will most likely be on field turf...

Domed stadium

 

[Damion704]

Man, we been "hearing" crap about turf for about 3yrs now. Ill believe it when I see it.

Can you imagine how fast he'll be running on the new turf? It'll be like running on air with unit slapping around.

I feel you Damion, but jimmy is right. Too much buzz from people who absolutely know what they are talking about where I'd be shocked if it DIDN'T come next year.

And the jumbo tron is coming too, probably by next year as well. I think I'm more excited for the virtual explosion of NDNation.com than I am field turf/jumbotron lol.

 

[ACamp1900]

I don't understand how you can be so against it...

 

[Irishfan33]

It's pretty much #1 on Kelly's offseason list....

it was supposed to have gone in last season(they got the sideline ready)but for some reason
(old hags) it didnt....

but you can bet 2 laps it's gonna be in for next season

 

[ThePiombino]

VERY excited about this.

 

[jimmymac]

One of the biggest reasons turf is coming is because of the INSANE cost of changing the grass this year. Now Kelly has a legitimate reason to make the change other than "it will make our players better" or whatever.

DO you know if they are going to go field turf or the hybrid route?

Where has this been confirmed at? Just wondering

 

[Irishfan33]

Kelly pretty much said it a couple of weeks ago....

He said he let it be known that's what he wants.

IMO that's why his contract took so long to get done, he asked for alot of changes, knows what it's going to take to get the recruits here to win the big games.

Think about it, if they shot down what he wants why would he stick around, he can get a Job at a major school so easy....

Think Texas wouldn't take him....

Harper, Leahy, Pashegian, and Holtz didn't get all they wanted.

And they beat Texas.

Doesn't mean BK shouldn't try.

 

[connor_in]

OK...we will go hybrid of the Jerry Jones/Lucas Oil/Boise St route...

Domed stadium with retractable roof with a HUGE window to see TDJ on the library and GINORmatron screen and ND blue feild turf with Sparkling Dome gold field lines

any of you guys good at photoshop...lets see what that would look like!

Only had like 20 mins to throw this together but you get the idea lol

 

[NDhoosier]

That looks purple at first, but the more I look at it, the more I see blue. Honestly, I would love for them to get turf and make some designs. Screw the old traditionals who want nothing but the lines. I want a ND logo in the middle of the field and lettering in the "golden" endzones.

Damn straight. With how great the graphics have been on the Shamrock helmets, imagine how sweet they could make some field logos.
