Something for sure is wrong, either S&C program or the
I sort of question the turf thing since our opponents don't seem
IU’s field doesn’t look right. It certainly doesn’t look like any Field Turf surfaces I have seen.
It always looks dingy and flat, very different from how other field turf surfaces appear on TV. I’m curious about why that is.
I guess that would do it. Silly to think our athletic department would keep up with simple maintenance for a football facility.
It requires maintenance. You can’t just install it and forget about it.
ARE played on grass. They had pretty good luck with it for awhile. It eventually was a mess and they got rid of it.
It looks shiny with the sun coming across on tv but it is fine color wise when you see it in person
Not excusing IUs field but I also wonder with some of the injuries we see how much is athletes building too much muscle strength for the frame of their bodies to take?
I remember the 01 bucket game was played partly during a downpour. How long after that did we switch?
Thinking the same. It seemed like there were alot of ligament and tendon injuries during the steroid era in baseball.
I would have to look up when they switched back but I do recall that game sitting in the heaviest rain I have ever seen. Field actually took it and drained better that anyone expected but the sidelines were deep. The water coming down the stairs was spectacular.
The old Astro turf was just a scratchy rug on concrete. Destroyed knees. Today’s Field turf is much better but still not a safe as the rare quality grass field.
