Author Topic: Field looks like hell . . . again (Read 32511 times)

i think I saw it when they showed highlights of the Army game,you couldn't even make out the lines and things.Is it a natural surface or artificial dirt?

The camera angle made the field look horrible. I saw some other pictures from higher up and a different angle and the field didn't look as bad, but it still looked bad.

I honestly don't think these artificial grass fields were designed to have a college football team practicing on them all the time, and from what I understand K-State practices most of the time in the stadium.

I also noticed goes slipping and sliding around, it's already starting to look like the old FieldTurf and the old garbage FieldTurf field that MethU had.

I said it still looked bad, I should have phrased it as saying from another angle besides the regular tv angle it didn't look as bad.

That rug really tied the stadium together at first. Now it looks like someone has micturated upon it.

If they aren't gonna use those 3 practice fields they should at least open them up for tailgating and get some use out of them

Maybe if they just run the vacuum in the same direction over the turf before the game it would look better. You know, fluff up the nap a little.

This is what I was thinking. Kinda like a zamboni except for GameDay 360 Fieldturf.

Can confirm that the turf looked like garbage on the ESPN broadcast of the UT game - and the glare off the turf seemed to be rough ridin' up the camera exposure. Everything else looked really dark. It was almost unwatchable to start with. The game also sucked - can't believe how far Texas has fallen that I just don't care much about shutting them out - our offense was lethargic.

Anyway, not sure why the turf puts off so much glare - I've never seen that in person.

Wait, that wasn't fresh snow on the field Saturday?

They drag the turf on gamedays similar to what they do to the dirt on baseball infields

I think it's about time to just go with natural grass.

What are they dragging the turf with. Because the last time I saw pictures of the K-State grounds crew "dragging the turf" it was literally a guy on a John Deere Gator pulling a chain with two empty freight pallets attached to the end. This was just a few years ago and I thought at the time we'd quit being so small timey a long time ago, but I was wrong.
