Are you saying our games aren't currently hard on the eyes? 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Hooked on Huskers Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Bad move. Joined OU, Alabama, Georgia, Clemson, Ohio State (future), Penn St, A&M, Michigan State, LSU, etc .... all beautiful natural grass in home venues. Cooler, softer, less injuries, nice odor, no nasty chemicals (recycle tires), etc FieldTurf salesman Quote Link to comment
Gorillahawk Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 What is the chance that NU has a contract with the field turf company that through x amount of years, stating that it will stay with field turf with the agreement it will be replaced a certain amount of time during the duration of the contract?

Well there is always next year and Husker fans are typically optimistic until we aren’t (about the 2nd week in October) I’m hoping the staff changes and the infusion of new talent will get us back to being respected once again Quote Link to comment

Every 7 years, replace fake turf. And FieldTurf disposal, $$$, because recycle tires. Keep in mind, replaced car tires was surcharge cost (special disposal, classified toxic materials). Maintenance? I will gladly volunteer free of charge .... mowing, spread fertilizer, stripes, etc Moving movie (Randy Quaid) 3 Quote Link to comment

Elite teams: natural grass venues Non-elite teams (like Huskers): Fake turf Ohio State, Michigan, and Notre Dame have field-turf style fields. I know Michigan State (which I don't consider an elite team) is a school in the north which has real grass, but they are an outlier. The grass vs. turf line of demarcation is usually colder vs. warmer climates. 1 Quote Link to comment

Michigan, poor drainage because actually Big Hole instead of Big House. Mostly submerged.
