edub: pics for business or pleasure or yes? Hopefully yes.
Last I heard they weren't going to move the X's...sure hope they do though, that will look dumb.A big tent has been ordered for Cat's closet for this fall.This different color turf was done specifically for Harley Day, they didn't think the Harley's could ride through the gameday turf, so the endzones are just plain outdoor carpet.

Still don't understand why they felt a motorcycle could drive on the regular turf, but I suspect it was cheaper and Currie didn't want to spend the money since there was a chance it could get torn up.

Not done for Harley Day at all. Refresher from last summer: Need to keep asphalt around the field for TV trucks, EMS vehicles etc to drive on, there was concern that using same infill product would create a lip between field and asphalt area. The examined black turf there, medical staff was concerned about heat, AthDept eventually decided to use as close a green shade as possible with plain AstroTurf. As mentioned, eventually other two sides will be done this way so it won't look as noticeable. On gamedays it is more difficult to notice anyways. Zero to do with Harley Day.

Maybe Oregons duck has turf tires on his hog
The asphalt is coming out when they do the walls.
