Title: new turf
Post by: jake4kstate on March 20, 2011, 05:58:41 PM: whats the latest news on the new turf that i heard we were going to get/need
Title: Re: new turf
Post by: sonofdaxjones on March 20, 2011, 06:06:28 PM: They are taking proposals from the various manufacturers right now.

Although I suspect it is FieldTurf's to lose.

But I doubt it gets installed until the summer.

Are they really going to do the hotel thing? Because, frankly, I thought that was kind of dumb.

Also, what about Snyder wanting a new palatial practice facility complete with walking bride? Did I just dream that, or was that actually discussed?

None.

Pan . . . you're not dreaming anything. I doubt they build a hotel and yes OB wants a new practice complex. Thing is, I believe that land across the street is owned by the Foundation or Extension and it would have to purchased from them.

I bet they'd make all the employees wear those purple foam hats they gave away at that one hot OOC game in the early 00s.

I want a giant "Briggs Auto Group" in the end zone.

I mean, OMG, can you imagine how much money we could make selling ad space in the end zones? As much as they'll be featured on highlights after the other team scores 50 points a game, you could command bank for those.
