NamelessHusker Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Memorial Stadium field turf Looks like we are going back to 1967 Quote Link to comment
DaveH Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Interesting. At first glance I am not sure I like it. One guy on that page says the contrast between the two green's is a bit high in that picture. Quote Link to comment
NamelessHusker Posted July 14, 2005 Author Share Posted July 14, 2005 It looks weird right now but it will even out in a couple weeks to a lighter dark after it gets to stretch its legs out and tan a little bit. Also it should look much better once they paint all the numbers and logos on it. Quote Link to comment
skersfan Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Well being near 60 I would be considered an old timer I guess. Most likely in better shape than half on the board though!!! lol. The game is all that is important. I would go watch Nebraska play in a tent. I do not care what the field looks like, or honestly what color it is. Traditions is a bunch of crap. They don't play with leather helmets, they do not smoke, we finally know what a forward pass looks like, you don't drive the Model A to the games and you watch it on a big screen. Traditions are just a way of explaining not moving ahead. Play friggen ball and forget the trivial crap. Quote Link to comment

rawhide Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 skers, You're also more right than many on the board. IMO GBR Us SoCalers have to stick together. I like the looks of the new turf, kinda like a baseball field only not . Safety not looks should be the issue. If it is safer and looks good great combo. Quote Link to comment
skersfan Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 The fact that they have replaced it is the important thing as Rawhide says. This will help keep some injuries down and lord knows we do not need any this year. Sorry for getting on the high horse/ soap box. I just want us to move forward and look at the positives, we have enough to bring up the negatives all the time and some that just look for those. I personally see nothing wrong with the appearance. I have seen cut fields that looked similar. My guess there will be a Nebraska helmet in the center of the field. With red and white endzones and a new color to some of the seats. It will look great when they are done and I would guess a lot like the Utah stadium. Their's is a pretty new stadium and if we can get this grand old lady to look as good I am all for it.

formerfan Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Doesnt seem to be a big deal, kind-of like the stripes on the pant-legs. Doesnt really make a huge difference, IMO. Quote Link to comment
