Landlord Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Ugh. That turf is seriously embarassing. 2 Quote Link to comment
kchusker_chris Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 An engineering buddy of mine works for the company that installed the turf last time and said he hasn't heard anything from the AD about replacing it. So it won't be this summer. I hope we get a new company to install the turf since we went a dismal 70-36 on this turf and it's obviously their fault 106 games have been played on this turf? I don't believe so. (45-12 I think is closer) Quote Link to comment

I don't believe so. (45-12 I think is closer) Yep. We've played 57 games on this turf, lost 12 of them. Amazing that this stuff lasts for less than 75 games. With eight home games played this year, plus Spring Games, that'll be 73 total games from installation to removal. You can add in your wear-and-tear from stuff like scrimmage, opponent walk-throughs, Fan Day, Band practice, etc... but still, that seems not-so-durable. Quote Link to comment

That's another 48 games in this stretch. it's shot alright. Quote Link to comment

I think being in the weather 24/7 has a bigger impact on the life than playing on it. I read an article at one time that said that field turf inside a dome lasts 2-5 years longer than if it was outside. Quote Link to comment

Landlord Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Seriously though Eichorst and co. Not only does the field LOOK dreadful, especially at night, but it's literally falling apart. Watching games at Memorial makes you think for a second that they are playing on real grass with all the bits of turf all over the jerseys. Quote Link to comment

After hearing this news, I'm really wondering how this field is going to make it through this season. It really is on its last leg. Quote Link to comment

knapplc Posted April 11, 2013 Author Share Posted April 11, 2013 There's this guy on Twitter demanding justice, saying they stole his floor design. The things people will do to get their 15 minutes of fame. For shame. Quote Link to comment
