That is a fricking eyesore. I cannot imagine how painful that is going to be on the 50 or so people attending games.

Those JPEGs burn.

I don't think it is... in the first picture when its on the roll the blades look long and more like grass than astro turf does. I tell you what though, if you aren't used to running on old school astro turf your knees will be SORE the next day.

They want to make the news but don't have the money to do it right. I really like the turf we put down at Cajun Field.

This Is terrible... On top of the color, WTF is with thr astro turf? My high school football team is ripping up their field in December and putting in a brand new state of the art turf field.

And this college team is putting carpet over their parking lot.

If I were a kid playing their I might sue for a free and clear transfer for safety reasons

that can't be a ULL game. It looks like a lot of people are there.

UV will make it pink with or w/o snow

I hate the flyout on field turf. Hopefully, in a few more generations, they'll be able to control it. It's better than it used to be, but the infill gets in everything
