2. Amend the FY 2015 Capital Improvement Plan and Approve Program Statement for
Redesign of the Athletic Practice Fields – KSU
K-State Athletics recently announced that an intercollegiate women’s soccer program will be added in keeping
with K-State's commitment to improve opportunities for female student-athletes, enabling the athletics program
to maintain its sponsorship of 16 varsity sports as required by the NCAA. K-State Athletics proposes the redesign
of the two existing grass football practice fields into three fields to accommodate usage for both the football and
soccer programs. The basic field footprint covers approximately 240,000 square feet. The new design will include
a field with artificial turf and two fields with a natural grass surface. The total project cost is estimated at $3.4
million funded from private gifts and athletic funds.

This all sounds stupid and gross. The fieldturf better not be for the football team. I don't want, in any way, for my university to be involved with playing real soccer on fieldturf. I picture all three fields being in a line but there being a tiny soccer scoreboard and portable metal bleachers for the seating, like the same metal bleachers that are leaving BSFS. God I hope I'm wrong but this sounds horrific.

MIR you might as well start burning it down because that is exactly what we are going to get. A field turf field and some bleachers.

It sucks. A tiny little 3,000 seat natural grass stadium could be made pretty elite for a few briefcases full of cash but it's going to resemble my high school's soccer setup.

The very first question one has to ask is what kind of turf were those people in those pictures playing on. 

American Football players typically have noting covering their arms, with exceptions and they slide across the artificial grass/turf fields all the time and rarely do I ever see any abrasions such as that.   I suspect those girls/guys were probably playing on the few remaining old style turf fields which are typically only used by field hockey teams or cheap knock off artificial grass fields, not made by the primary companies.   Seriously do you think NFL'ers would constantly rate some FieldTurf/AstroTurf gameday grass fields above some natural turf fields if they left abrasions like that on their arms and elsewhere?


Oh, and even real grass can leave abrasions on people.

Plus, why the eff do some people think that the women's soccer program at K-State should fly out of the gates with some awesome stadium, unless somebody steps up to pay for it?

why do something half-ass?  you can't expect to win if you roll out the wal-mart of soccer fields.
and if you do happen to stumble onto success, you'll end up growing and dumping the initial investment (vanier complex currently getting torn down)

show the conference and your team that you're committed to the program, it will pay off with success on the field.

the cost of a natural grass field can't cost that much more incrementally than an artificial turf field.

is there no student input solicited?  i would hope that they have a voice in these decisions since it is, you know, theirs.

SGA-----The voice of the people!

LOL!

Am I not reading something correctly?  Are they seriously rolling out artificial for this thing and that is confirmed?

the dax post says that kstate is wanting to build two natural grass fields and one turf field. three total. my guess would be that soccer will be on one of the grass ones. now what about locker rooms? fan amenities like bathrooms? use the same stuff the baseballers use?
