buckeyes Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 I'm not sure if this has been posted but ohio state is getting new turf. so far it looks nice, the new thing that i noticed the most was the red endzones, they used to be just green. what do you think? upgrade?

BBTV Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Was it grass or fake before? I think the colored-in end-zones make it look way more fake than if they had kept it the same. Also, much like the home jerseys, it looks like the silver has once again taken the back seat.

Max Power Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 I'm usually a fan of colored end zones, but in this case I think the uncolored end zones look better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkerws Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 I like it but wish they'd use the school logo instead of just the block O. I hope they went with the block number over the ones teams seem to always use on turf (arial?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EatSleepJeep Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 It looks like the character separation in OHIO is way off. It looks like O HI O. Those O's should be tighter to the inner characters. Look at the TAT in STATE for proper spacing or the OHIO on the old turf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEWJ Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 I always like colored endzones more. And I also like the colored logo at midfield. Upgrade IMO. |Â BROWNS | BUCKEYES | CAVALIERS | INDIANSÂ | Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DenverJ Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Is it me or does it seem like most of the Big 10 schools either already have or are going to field turf and away from natural grass for their football stadiums? Not sure if I'm liking this trend or not... I don't know. I never smoked AstroTurf. ~Tug McGraw, when asked if he preferred grass or artificial turf.

floydnimrod Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 I think this is a downgrade. I loved the Gray lettering in the endzones, this just looks boring. Mancakes: The Bandhttps://twitter.com/FloydNimrod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doafhat Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 In other artificial turf news, Oklahoma State will be staying with FieldTurf at Boone Pickens Stadium despite earlier plans to install a natural surface. A survey of the stadium was done recently and found that a sufficient amount of sunlight would not be able to reach the field in the fall due to the shadows created by the stadium and Gallagher-Iba Arena, and maintaining grass in those conditions would probably be too cost-prohibitive and result in a poor surface (a lot like the problems at Gillette Stadium).

huskeraddict Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Meh...downgrade. The colored endzones are bland and the letters are off as previously said. The Block "O" changed to red sucks too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacker12 Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 I had been hearing about Ohio State possibly changing to turf for several months. I guess that it turned out to be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJWalker45 Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 I actually flew over Ohio Stadium a couple weeks ago. Once I saw the grass was out and just a concrete slab I knew this was coming. I actually like that they are going back to colored end zones. Of course the whole field and markings are exacly the same as the astroturf field had. I like seeing it come back again.

whitedawg22 Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 I'm a Michigan fan, but Ohio Stadium's turf used to be pretty cool with the grass end zones and the plain silver "O" at midfield. The colored endzones are boring.That said, last year the grass had a funny look where every 5 yards, the grass would change tint pretty drastically (at least on TV). It was a sharper contrast than the usual mowing-every-stripe-in-the-alternate-direction kind of thing. Maybe the FieldTurf will fix that, as well as making the field playable into November. oh ,my god ,i strong recommend you to have a visit on the website ,or if i'm the president ,i would have an barceque with the anthor of the articel .

speedo Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Looks like a carry-over from last season's jersey switch, which featured less gray. I don't mind the red end zones that much, but the lack of gray is disappointing. As someone previously said, it looks as if it could be Wisconsin.Personally though, I always thought it was cool that both Ohio State and Michigan had green end zones with their trim colour (i.e. gray, maize) for the lettering with main colour (scarlet, blue) trim...That said, last year the grass had a funny look where every 5 yards, the grass would change tint pretty drastically (at least on TV). It was a sharper contrast than the usual mowing-every-stripe-in-the-alternate-direction kind of thing.Kinda like Oregon... "Old folks" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeyenut Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 The letters in the endzone are just place holders or stencils. They haven't painted the endzones yet, as you can see in the other(far) endzone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
