1989husker! Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 So I have been pondering this for a while. Nebraska should surround the out edges of the sideline with stocks of corn. Much like Sanford stadium in Georgia does with hedges. What do you all think? 1 Quote Link to comment
commando Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 not sure that artificial turf is the best place to grow corn. 1 Quote Link to comment
1989husker! Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 not sure that artificial turf is the best place to grow corn. I see what you did there and I don't like it... But in all seriousness, imagine how cool the stocks would look when they were browning in the fall? It would not be that difficult to build planters to run along the brick walkway along the field.

Bowfin Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I like the idea, but the devil is in the details. I say, embrace the corn, don't try to run away from the idea that Nebraska grows it to make a living. Quote Link to comment

ADS Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Maybe we can have a center pivot at the 50 yard line too. 6 Quote Link to comment
RedDenver Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Corn is not a perennial like a hedge and doesn't grow year round, can get very tall and could obstruct sight lines for the lower seat rows, and requires a good deal of maintenance to keep it alive and not sickly-looking. Additionally, there isn't all that much room along the sidelines to really put anything else in there. Quote Link to comment
1989husker! Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 Maybe we can have a center pivot at the 50 yard line too. What about leading out of the tunnel walk on the outside. Like the team runs out from the corn? that would be legit Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Yeah, so there is a bunch of brown, dried-out corn stalks on either side of the field during football season? That would look great!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment

GBRFAN Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Yeah, but how would it look for the spring game??? Quote Link to comment

Let me guess, the Colorado guy would prefer marijuana stalks? He has a point, though. By October, the stalks would be brown. Quote Link to comment
