knapplc Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Their new stadium isn't due to open until 2018. In the meantime, Welsh-Ryan is looking pretty grim. https://twitter.com/RyanMixTV/status/779434559171596288 1 Quote Link to comment

It'sNotAFakeID Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreaaaaaaaaaaaaat. Feel like bad fields increase the chance of injuries, and Ryan Field's condition will definitely effect the game for both teams. 2 Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Are you sure Northwestern is getting a new football stadium? I know they are building new football training facilities on campus, but I hadn't heard anything regarding a whole new stadium. 1 Quote Link to comment
lo country Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 That's a sketchy looking field. Green sand? Why not just spray paint the dirt. 1 Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted September 23, 2016 Author Share Posted September 23, 2016 I am not sure. I thought I heard they were getting a new stadium, but I could be wrong. Not finding anything about a new stadium on google... Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I am not sure. I thought I heard they were getting a new stadium, but I could be wrong. Not finding anything about a new stadium on google... Everything I look at is a new facility for football practice and other sports, along with a makeover for the basketball arena.

Saunders Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 They're trying to slow down our speed. That field is dangerous, they should be fined by the B1G. 3 Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I'd take a dead, sandy field over one where the grass is 9" deep, personally. Quote Link to comment
Hooked on Huskers Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 And Ryan stadium does not have permanent light standards. Very dark. See Duke vs NW on BTN2go replay. Quote Link to comment

Minnesota_husker Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 What are the rules of when the opposing team can basically refuse to play? This is far from the worse but could be a strategy by a team if they wanted to slow a team down. Quote Link to comment

As long as the officials deem it ok for the game to be played, the opposing team can't do much about it. Quote Link to comment
lo country Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Wasn't the first game of the NFL cancelled as both teams refused to play due to some field condition? Quote Link to comment
