Lyons in the Sea of Red. Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 What is everyones opinion on the multicolor turf? I know there were a lot of mixed emotions when it was first installed. I have personally grown to like it quite a bit. Quote Link to comment

I have personally grown to like it quite a bit. I'm a big fan. I've always favored the multicolored turf. Quote Link to comment
Twinkletoes Flintstone Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I like it but wish the contrast was a little more subtle. And, RED ENDZONES please! White "CORNHUSKERS" in one end and white "NEBRASKA" in the other. 2 Quote Link to comment
The Duke Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 What is everyones opinion on the multicolor turf? I know there were a lot of mixed emotions when it was first installed. I have personally grown to like it quite a bit. It has slowly grown on me over the years. Don't quote me on this, and if I am wrong somebody please correct me, but I think the reason they went to the multicolor turf was because that was how the field looked during the Devaney era, at least that is what I have heard.

Landlord Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I like it but wish the contrast was a little more subtle. And, RED ENDZONES please! White "CORNHUSKERS" in one end and white "NEBRASKA" in the other. Love the mutli-colored, heck no @ red endzones. However, I think if we install new turf soon we should make the multi-color pattern symmetrical, ala Oregon: Quote Link to comment

I think that's correct. They were trying to imitate the mow lines from way back when we had real grass. Quote Link to comment

However, I think if we install new turf soon we should make the multi-color pattern symmetrical, ala Oregon: This is a crude mockup but something like this (picture the block N at midfield and the correct font, this was the closest I could find). Disagree on the symetrical thing as well. It's bad enough we kind of copied Oregon in the first place, this keeps it a little bit separate. Quote Link to comment
Blackshirts007 Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I honestly don't like it as well as what we have Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 Most recent pic from the Nebraska FB Video twitter feed of their new booth. Totally forgot about this thing when I was in the stadium last week. That East Stadium expansion is pretty darned eye-catching. Quote Link to comment
Micheal Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Personally I like the multi colored turf, and current endzone designs. Could use a replacing though. I think i've heard 10 years is about the life of field turf? I can't seem to remember when this was installed though. Quote Link to comment

BOJ Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Figured this was as good a place for this as any. Found this over on an OSU blog. Curious if you guys had seen this wedding cake with your stadium as the piece. http://imgur.com/a/5Pu3z Quote Link to comment
Ulty Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 1999 was the first year for the Field Turf. I think they have replaced it once since then, which is when they went to the multi-colored greens we currently have. I like the current look, myself. 1 Quote Link to comment
