I think it looks better than crap'ty asphalt (and a HS track). Safer too.

I don't think it looks THAT bad. However, it should still be fixed

No it looks like we covered the shitty asphalt with the carpet D.Scott threw out of his flooded basement. And since when do you care about safety?

Always concerned about safety of players on the field/court. Other drivers on the other hand......

Have daydreamed about vandalizing the ZOD with things like "so K-STATEO" and "THIS LOOKS LIKE crap" in bright white. Some EMAW'r should get super pak'd and make this happen. Take one for the team. The SE entrance is open probably 24/7 because of construction.

And predictably, the battered wives over in 'tuckville don't even see a problem.

EMAWmeister · « **Reply #833 on:** July 02, 2011, 02:41:06 AM »

I think the railings look much worse than the grass IMO.

The only thing I'm pissed about is that they had to go out of their way to make the mismatching turf happen.

Good concise summary of the non-Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) position on this issue.

The pictures prove my point, just cover the SZOD areas in the same material, it evens out the entire field, frames the playing surface and would be fine. Like others have pointed out, you can go to a lot of stadiums and the "track" around the field is often a different color for good reason. But right now you've got the different color turf in the EZOD, and it joins the SZOD which is still black asphalt.

The different colored green going up to walls of limestone on all sides would look elite.

Can't they spray paint it or something? That is awful.

Doods, the carpet in Vanier totally doesn't match the drapes!! Who gives a eff? Get a life outside of crying like little bitches on this board 24/7. JFC.

The futher away shots don't look as bad, but as an Architect I'd like to punch whoever approved this.
If it was one of my workers they would of been fired for not putting in the proper research beforehand.

Taking a cue from Iowa State, I think K-State needs to look at building a similar structure over the Big 12 Room on Vanier and putting up a larger videoboard on that end. But instead of the 'industrial' look at the ISU is going for, just put up steel beams that are clad in limestone.

BrotherDDay · « **Reply #841 on:** July 03, 2011, 05:24:44 PM »

Just think of it as perpetual new sod...

That never takes root...

That's what I tell myself.

Sigh.

We are K-Stateo.

Also, an important point that hasn't been mentioned yet about why some of us are so pissed: it isn't just that it's mismatched. It's that the color of the second green looks like the same green that my Canadian friend sees smeared on the toilet paper after a night of drinking 19 Keystones and eating a whole medium cream cheese and jalapeno from Pizza Shuttle. And the "grain" of the patchwork turf goes the wrong way--doesn't match up with the direction of the "grain" of the field itself, which runs North/South. The quality is absolute dog crap. If it were a different color of green that actually looked like it was supposed to be there all along then nobody would give a crap. Instead, it just looks terrible and cheap.

<------but with a big X over it

Why not just bulldoze Vanier and start over with a new structure that incorporates the indoor practice facility with suites on the field side and wings of seats to the east and west that encloses the stadium?

Good idea, but we're going to be waiting a long time for that.

Will the "cool" Pinstripe Bowl K-State be on the new field at BSFS?
