Moving to Grass Practice Fields (1 Viewer)

Yes

Maybe this is in preparation for a grass field with the stadium renovation. They will take the turf out of the stadium and put it back on one of the practice fields.

I’m guessing the practice field will look like this whenever we are preparing for a game at Northwestern

 

[huskerj12]

Yeah yeah, injuries, footwork, blah blah blah it's all great. But most importantly, playing on grass just makes everyone look a million times cooler.

Do we make anything of this? Moving to natural grass on practice fields - eventually see Memorial as a grass field?

This was a rumor early on, but I was told the new practice field and existing indoors will be turf and both existing outdoor fields will be grass.

Not sure how they'd keep up maintenance on the all grass practice fields, just the days they practice on it for MSU, Northwestern, etc they absolutely rip them to shit. Additionally when it's cold, those fields are hard as hell.

Going to a tall fescue at Memorial, gonna cut it once every other week and water it all night before games. They'll be slowing down those Ohio State receivers in no time.

Funny story, knew a coach that ran nothing but double tight wishbone down in Hamilton, TX. They were playing a very fast and very good Cisco, TX team in the playoffs at home. Hamilton runs the sprinklers on the boundaries all night. Basically making you play between the hashes.

Cisco was pissed. Hamilton won.

They all have turf now so not relevant, but funny story from the 90's.

2 turf and 2 grass. 3 outdoors 1 indoors. Turf at new facility and indoors. Grass are the two existing fields outside Hawks.

I stand corrected. Ok, most soccer is played on natural grass, especially European and South American soccer.

You’re correct in non-collegiate and non- women’s soccer. Women’s World Cup was on turf in Canada - they almost rioted haha

We talking a fine fescue? Similar aesthetic to the KBG that everyone loves, but much more tolerant to extreme conditions both hot and cold.

I believe I sodded my lawn with it at .30 per sq ft. Should be able to get a lil better deal for all the turf we are replacing baby!

Plant corn in Memorial Stadium you cowards!

Genius. Why wouldn't they plant a real short season corn in the stadium? Don't play there till basically Sept nohow. It would give bill and nancy hayseed something to look at when they go tour the stadium, it would be yuge national media attention, and best of all, government grants to supplement our athletics department.

That’s a fine lookin yard

I do love a good grass field as compared to turf. Much easier on my lower back and knees when coaching. #old

Just chop it then, give Cook some silage to feed the livestock with. Love the smell of fresh corn silage.
