GSG Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 I'm almost positive someone said we were getting it replaced this off-season Quote Link to comment

EbylHusker Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Our turf is scruffy, but it's getting replaced. Quote Link to comment
HuskerfaninOkieland Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 I just hope the maintenance guys have the sprinkler controls like on the Buffalo Wild Wings commercial Quote Link to comment

CheeseHusker Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Looked it up.... since the original astroturf went down in 1970, it was changed in '77, '84, '92, '99, and '05. True to form, it looks like the end of this season is right on with the cycle. I guess it makes sense to do it concurrently with the latest expansion too. Quote Link to comment
Nobody Posted September 30, 2012 Author Share Posted September 30, 2012 Fyi.. this thread was made in the FIRST half of the game. Things got turned around in the second half. Cool to hear that we are replacing the turf, but whats the issue with giving that N a fresh coat of paint every once in a while. Quote Link to comment
HuskerShark Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 So much pessimism on this board. I can't wait for us to win this thing and hear everybody eat their words. Well done HuskerShark He's like Cleo the Fortune Teller What can I say? I just felt like we were the better team and that when our guys realized that, we would start knocking Wisconsin around. Look what happened. Quote Link to comment
Count 'Bility Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 On top of the paint being so faded, I also noticed watching the dvr after i got home last night that there were a lot of players with turf itself on their shirts. I know it is getting replaced, I just hope it lasts through the year. It's starting to come apart. Quote Link to comment
JTrain Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Do we have to use paint? Aren't a lot teams just incorporating the basic designs into the actual turf? Compare Ohio State's red to ours. Theirs looks pretty. Ours looks weird and purple-y. I also agree to ditch the alternating greens that we took from Autzen. Quote Link to comment
hosker Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I havent' been to a game yet this season, but I've noticed that the color of our field looks worse on certain chanels, ie BTN. Our red looks much more 'purple-y' on BTN than it does on ESPN. It has somthing to do with the camera's/lighting/natural light, it never looks the way it does in person. Regardless, it needs replaced, and it should probably be painted every season too, to keep it fresh. Quote Link to comment
