Cannot wait for our new turf next year. The field looked like crap on ABC for UCLA game. The "grass" part is wearing down to the point that all the rubber shavings are coming to the surface and covering the already faded painted parts.
So can we go from photo-shopping jerseys we will never have to photo-shopping what our elite new field will look like? TIA

Also FWIW, the field underneath SD's paint job looks REALLY good compared to what it looked like last weekend.

BITB said yesterday it's a distinct home field advantage for the qhatz. :woot:

Thanks SD that’s what I was going to do. The field will look exactly the same, just newer. If you expect anything different you're kidding yourself.

Black turf.

It's like Rembrandt and Davinci had babies and then their babies had babies and painted this masterpiece. :drool:
-
Black turf.
Would probably break 200 degrees.

We can hope the font in the endzones is updated.

Trajan?

Would love to see the Cartoon Willie's in the endzone in place of the powercats.

Just a lil FYI- If you think the rubber pellets are bad now, wait until the turf is brand new. It takes quite a while for them to be compacted/settle.

They were settled by season start when it was first installed. Also since then they have nice fancy new equipment to help it settle (kinda like rolling piles of sand into a lawn to get out the bumps).

Thanks, was going to do this too. I think SD's masterpiece covers how this topic has already been discussed at length.

Here I am holding the scale model I built yesterday showing what it would look like to have turf all the way to the stands.

Also, I don't think that the field is painted. I think the coloration comes from the material itself. ie. for the purple areas the blades of fake grass are made of purple material.

May be true, but the word is they are in the process of painting the field right now. Don't ask me why they didn't do it before UCLA

So donors see how bad and embarrassing it looked on ABC, which hopefully made them pull out their checkbook and donate?

I'm about to go walk my dog so I'll go up there and take a shot of the field. If OB catches me I'm mumped :frown:

Now that Bill is back that place is like fracking Fort Knox again. At first I thought the best picture I could get would be through the trees but then I just walked in, snapped a quick picture, and was promptly told to leave. Hard to make out in the picture but everything is definitely getting repainted.
You should be able to click on them and get a little bigger version.

I had my German Shepherd with me so I don't think that minimum wage security guard was going to cause too much of a scene :)
If I dressed more like a cop I bet I could walk around without getting bothered but I'll save that for a more important event.
-
Cop uniform is a good idea. To avoid any impersonation charges, turn on a boombox and start stripping when they get wise to your trick.

Maybe I'll just go with some boots, tactical clothing, etc. I have my concealed carry license so I could make it really legit, but I'm pretty sure you can't bring it in there even if it's not a gameday.

I laughed at BITB trying to say the field was some type of advantage for K-State. The issue is almost purely aesthetic and is one that has plagued first generation FieldTurf fields. I run into the FieldTurf folks at trade shows every once in awhile and so I asked them about it. The first generation blade design did not hold the rubber infill down as well as the new generation blade design, and that issue was a major one that their competitors knocked them on. When we first put it in, they had to repaint the powercat because they got the color wrong, and it is supposed to be an "in lay" like the lines and the numbers. But you can paint FieldTurf, and they might as well since this is the last year for that field anyway.

I'm pretty sure I could get away with it. Would take a lot of 'spainin, but I could. Scary thought, huh? :ohno:

No way this is true. For the hundreds of times I have stood on top of that powercat the blades themselves are definitely not coated in paint.
Painted fieldturf sucks. KU painted the jayhawk on their fieldturf and you can easily tell when you are on it. All the blades are clumped together, its slick, and it doesn't move like normal turf/grass does. Add a little rain and its like walking on a wet marble floor.

Well, that came straight out of the FieldTurf reps mouth at an education tradeshow in New Orleans in the summer that it was put in. Said Snyder walked out of his office all the way to midfield while the FieldTurf crew was sewing in the Powercat and told them the color was wrong. I remember when the pictures were going up of the new field a lot of people commented that the Powercat was to Lavender looking. The difference might be is that ku painted the jayhawk right on a blank green field, whereas the powercat logo was already in place and just needed to be darkened. In addition, ku's field is the new generation FieldTurf with a different blade design, like we have in the indoor facility.

I fracking confirmed it ok :curse:
KU probably went to home depot and bought $5/gallon paint. I'm sure we're using something awesomer that clings to the grass better and stuff.
btw, I know you can't tell much from my photo's, but if you compare the end zone paint to the picture that doom has in his sig from last weekend you can tell it's darker

Actual info here, the painting people went to open all the paint we had and it was all dry and crappy and we couldn't get the new stuff in time so it could dry for UCLA. Very kstateo

This is understandable, the jayhawk looks like they poured the paint onto the field. Either way, i definetly looks darker in those photos.

Purple on Green doesn't look right... you guys should go with a White powercat logo, a purple endzone, with white letters.
-
Personally, I feel like we should just adopt another team's uniforms. Like a really good, nationally prominent team. Maybe one that has a ton of recent publicity about former Heisman winners or something.

I'm so glad we are coming up with great ideas on this board!! The productivity level on here is skyrocketing every minute!! So are you guys going to copy UNI's basketball uniforms in hopes that the uniforms beat Kansas?

Pretty sure you are required to actually field a basketball team before discussing basketball on a message board. OMG, our scout could totally beat our starters!!! Lol!!!

agree
-
I noticed from the highlights that they repainted all the purple but none of the extremely faded white. Makes the anatomically incorrect dimensions of the powercat look even skinnier/thinner/weirder now.
Ok, K-Stateo. What are we gonna do with you.
-
Arizona is getting a new field. I think this is the first I've seen where they've put words between the hashmarks. I wonder if this has been approved by the NCAA yet.

On October 18, 1926 UA quarterback and student body president John "Button" Salmon died from injuries sustained in a car wreck. His final words, spoken to coach "Pop" McKale, were: "Tell them.....tell the team to Bear Down." Soon thereafter, the UA student body adopted "Bear Down" as the school's athletic motto.

Interesting how every FB coach in the 20's & 30's was apparently named Pop

That would be pretty great, only I don't think they should put that on their field. Why not put it on their track instead? It would probably be easier and also look better.

"Bear down" makes me think of child birth.

hate to break it to you, but phog.net has forecasted that track to be ripped out after the 2012 season.

13-1 on our new Fieldturf...
Only one bad half vs OU in 2011 away from being undefeated. The castle should even give us a better homefield advantage too... :ksu:
