Think we have the worst looking turf field besides Boise State’s. Guess Jack picked it up at a rug sale at at a Macy’s rug and patio furniture outlet.




Yes, had same thought.

Guess there goes the "easier to maintain and always looks great" argument.

It looks cheap already -- in that BC kind of way.


Definitely needs a replacement

She went to her first game at ND Stadium last weekend, and we did the tunnel tour on Friday, where you can walk down the tunnel and onto the edge of the field. I don't think I've ever talked about the field turf in front of her, but when we got down there, she said, unprompted, "Ah, the smell of fake turf." Even she realized the ridiculousness of it at Notre Dame.


Did they forget to vacuum?

Of all the changes in the program in recent decades, I can't think of one that distresses me more than the installation of fake turf in that hallowed place.

Is this the original or 2nd coat of paint?


I said in RR that the field looks like it’s rotting. Like a

yard down the street after the sewage system got backed up because the kids tried to flush the family pet down the toilet.

It’s those black pellet-things, probably. They accumulate more in some areas or something.

Anyway, yes, I thought it looked terrible on TV.


Yes!

My 13 yr old son commented, “why does the field look like the Super Dome turf?”
