It's turf... How could it be improved? What is it lacking?

They could have removed those cancer causing rubber pellets eh bro.

They could have a wider sideline and then had something like "North Dakota State University" where the sideline is just narrow now. Alternating shades of green every 5 or 10 yards is also kind of cool IMHO. I'm also a fan of having the "G" just outside the goal line where the numbers are painted every 10 yards.

Just like Boise and EWU they could've done the main body of the field in a school col.... nevermind.

Pretending that every single field looks identical in everyway only proves that you need to see a doctor immediately. lol. honestly, call an ambulance

Just to show you how dense you comment is, here is a list of customizations that you could make on your multi million dollar turf that you will see on television for the next 10 years:

Base color of the turf.
Logo- Could use any one of the 4-5 that NDSU has
Logo Size- I could have definitely gone bigger, some choose smaller (YSU)
Font
Endzone style- solid, striped, checkerboard etc
Endzone font
Endzone logos
Endzone Color
Conference Logo patches
Adding or subtracting sponsor names on the field
secondary logos near the 20 yd line
Script near the benches
Alternating field colors 5-10yd lins
Script behind the endzones
Script by the tunnel

With these variables there are literally thousands upon thousands of different possible variations. But not according to our AD. There was only one choice- no other options existed. It is impossible that a better version exists- just ask ML! He knows better than all of us about everything, just ask him!

He did not ask what could be changed...but what could be improved, and what was lacking. I think they did a pretty good job. Many of the things you mentioned would make it worse...just my opinion. I don't really care for the alternating colors every 5 yards. I like the endzones...like the choice of logo at midfield...sure...could have been a little bigger, but just fine how it is. I hate SDSU's checkerboard endzones...very glad they did what they did.

And then changing the color of the turf. What choice would we have besides green or yellow? I think the yellow would get old/annoying very quickly for even those that might like it. And one sponsor name on the field is plenty.

We should be the first school with fiber optic turf. We could have more turf combinations than Oregon had uni combos. No need for painted yard lines that get warped. The first down line could be actually on the field. The team intro would be epic! Talk about an elite GameDay experience!

This conversation proves that no matter what things happen, people will complain. There ia nothing wrong with this turf design. I mean, what are you looking at during the game? The actual play on the field; or if there is a “G” at the goalline, or lettering that you cant see under the players feet at the benches, or wishing the logo was 5 feet bigger. Cant please anyone. Cant wait for beer in the dome and people will find a way to complain about the type of beer sold, what the beer glass looks like, and probably the hairstyle of the person selling the beer! Haha!!
