Sport Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Really cool how they do this. I really miss the design from the old grass field. That was understated and classy. The bright red endzones don't have the same elegance and, like their home jerseys, there's no gray to be found anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigGameBob Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I've heard a rumor around New Orleans that Tulane will be getting new uniforms. No official pictures but I've heard that they will get new unis.Non uniform news:http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/saints-sign-paralyzed-tulane-safety-devon-walker-on-graduation-day-051714 Good for him.

LEWJ Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Yea consider me disappointed with the new turf installation.Seems like a waste--replacing all the turf without making any changes.I could understand if it was just an amazingly timeless/classic design, but it's not.Should have added some gray and minimized the black.If I had it my way, the B1G logo would have color (or be gone entirely...) and the endzone font would match the primary logo's/basketball uniform's. |Â BROWNS | BUCKEYES | CAVALIERS | INDIANSÂ | Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The program did go through 2-3 grass fields in 2006 as the field sits next to the Olentangy River and is beneath the water table.They're ripping up the Ohio Stadium field now to keep it in the same cycle as the two practice fields they're redoing.This is a $45 million department-wide project:-new FieldTurf at the Shoe, indoor practice field, outdoor practice field (football)-new sod for natural grass practice field (football)-new locker room and lighting at the practice facility (football)-permanent lights at the Shoe, addition of 2600 seats (football/lacrosse)-second practice court to split men's/women's basketball-new locker room and meeting rooms for basketball/hockey-golf performance center -new scoreboards for baseball, track and softball venues-complete resurfacing of the track and all varsity tennis courtsIn short, lots of deferred maintenance that the AD wanted to do at once for continuity. The field at the indoor football facility in particular was showing its 27-year old age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Oregon does things in cycles and rotates which buildings get upgrades/deferred maintenance, mainly due to not having the revenue a school like tOSU has.

It's not like Ohio State has double or triple the revenue that Oregon has. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

MJWalker45 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 They also sell off the turf to raise funds too. Seeing as they've had a good run of form on it they can get a nice bit of coin for it. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clintau24 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Why is it so damn hard for adidas to put their damn logo on the chest rather than cluttering up the middle of the uniform... "I believe in Auburn and love it!" Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FSUViking Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 They just finished putting heating coils under TCF Bank Stadium, paid for in full by the Vikings. The end zones will remain "MINNESOTA" but painted white/purple on Sundays and maroon/gold on Saturdays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seriously doubt it would have added that much to the overall cost of the stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
