I am now starting rumors that the next field will be bluuuuuuue field turf!

 

I was thinking the same thing...How cool would that be? Obviously they make it, why not use it?

That would be seriously awesome! :thumb:

We would become the Boise State of Kentucky?

We would have to get those fake coyotes around the field to keep the geese off.

As far as I know, metal cleats have been illegal in football for a good 15 years, regardless of playing surface.

 

As far as your field drainage goes though, I suppose a mixture of sand and rubber would create a better subgrade...the rubber allows for superior drainage and the sand for a more natural "terra firma" feel to the field. However, in the end, the drainage all comes down to the actual drainage piping that gets installed under that subgrade.

 

I've built a handful of the new artificial turf fields, and it's the piping that makes all the difference. I'm just finishing up the new soccer stadium at NKU, and they put about $150k into their drainage piping. That field will be bone dry - even in the worst of weather. However, I can think of a field I put in up towards Dayton, OH, and it had virtually no drain piping. The playing surface itself was great, but there have been occasions where the football and soccer teams were literally playing in standing water.

 

Also, if you guys have 7-8 years of use on the playing surface, I would guess they're probably already making plans to replace it. The manufacturers usually rate the surface for 10 years of "well cared-for usage".

 

Metal tipped, screw in football cleats are not illegal. The only thing illegal would be a baseball metal cleat, a track metal cleat, or a 3/4" "mud cleat".

Well just to inform everybody that when they do eventually Install new surface, it will be very pricy....That's because I have heard the soccer field has to be done the same time.....Ouch!!!!!! I would say if the school has to flip the bill this time around completely, the soccer field will get turf 1st

They should put the old turf from the field in Death Valley.

Yeah... just shake the rug a few times to get the dirt out and lay it down in Death Valley! :ohbrother:

 

Plus they may want to invest approx. $150K to get some drainage flowing towards the Ohio River.

Did you fall for it also?

Anymore news about the internet broadcast that is to take place this Friday night?

Links?

I just cant wait until the football fieldturf does get replaced so we can finally remove the CovCath jersey that was buried in there along with Jimmy Hoffa so the that Highlands can come clean from that nasty spell that was imposed on them. We can maybe call in Geraldo and Friends and maybe get Highlands some more National Attention. Finally, maybe Highlands can win some games there. WOW! That really worked.
