JMU Stadium

[andy7171]

Is your field really two-toned every five yards to try and replicate a natural grass mowing pattern?

[JMU Newbill]

Is there a problem with that?

[Dukie95]

Is your field really two-toned every five yards to try and replicate a natural grass mowing pattern?

Are you asking if it's two-toned or are you asking if it's done to replicate the mowing pattern?

Because yes, it's two-toned.
I don't know why.

[uofmman1122]

I think it looks really cool. xthumbsupx

[andy7171]

It's just different. And I am assuming it's to replicate the mowing pattern. Why else do that? Do any other stadiums do that?
Not saying good or bad, just something I've never seen before.

Because were awesome like that, no? xnodx

[Dukes82]

I thought they took out the old turf and replaced it with the same type of turf the Ravens use at M&T which is a natural/sythetic composite.

A few teams do it, I think Rutgers does off the top of my head

I don't think it is natural/composite. As I remember it was literally just two different color turfs.

[andy7171]

I thought they took out the old turf and replaced it with the same type of turf the Ravens use at M&T which is a natural/sythetic composite.

Yeah. But it's two shades of green. I didn't know if they rolled it different directions or if it was actually two-toned.

That's right. Also, we were gonna go with purple and gold alternating every five yards, but that was gonna be expensive...:D

[purplepeopleeaterv2]

That's right. Also, we were gonna go with purple and gold alternating every five yards, but that was gonna be expensive...:D

My first thought on that was Ugh! But after thinking about it most definitely would have been unique. Kinda like Boise but our own. Wish they had done it now.

Purple underwear? I'm not the one stomping grapes. I'll concede "gold" though. :o

[ASUMountaineer]

And ASU should get a black field with gold endzones. xlolx Man, it would be tough to find Armanti then. :D

Can you imagine the eye strain trying to find Landers or Holloman when they are wearing the purple on purple uniforms if that were the case?

[ASUMountaineer]

True, however, I don't want them to raise Yosef Club donation requirements for my seats again. xsmiley_wix

You know, I like to think that, when intended to, my posts absolutely drip and reak with sarcasm. Lately though, some of you people just 'don't get it'. xsmhx

[89Hen]

That's because Nebraska hasn't been good enough to pay attention to lately. They were the first that I can recall that did this.

If memory serves me right you did law school. You can afford it. You afforded that Richmond education :D

[Dukie95]

We had this conversation when JMU installed their FieldTurf a couple years ago. The NCAA doesn't allow other colors besides green these days. Boise St. was grandfathered in.

I knew you got it...wanted to make sure some of the newer guys realized the joke.

But I've also noticed that people don't "get you" lately. xconfusedx Except Andy, but he's been trying to do that for months now. :D

Thank the NCAA for that one. I hate watching Boise on TV. Get a headache from that field every time.

[ASUMountaineer]

xlolx, I went to law school (not to Richmond) and quit half way through...probably the smartest thing I ever did. xlolx Worked in finance for SunTrust Bank, but now I'm just a lowly government employee. :D

When Boise State plays in the Humanitarian Bowl play with your TVs tint and contrast controls.

I got the sarcasm and agreed with it. But then I started thinking about it and became curious as to what it would look like. Something I would want to see once. Not every home game.

Its just easier now because your team hasn't been so (yes I know lame) hot hot hot lately. Once they start winning again your patience shall return. But your patience on waiting for that to happen has to be wearing thin at this point. xeyebrowx

I lost alot...pride, money, ego, freedom, etc, etc, etc. :(

And I'm glad the NCAA is tougher on their own rules than the NHL was in the 70's. Anyone remember the powder blue dashers in Montreal and Quebec (?) even though they had to be yellow per NHL rules? xrolleyesx

See the streamers are getting to Andy. Its only a matter of time...


***Side note. I love how the NCAA is "allowing" us to continue using our streamers as a tradition......as long as they don't hit the opposing team and feel the need to BROADCAST IT MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE EVERY HOME GAME!

[andy7171]

See the streamers are getting to Andy. Its only a matter of time...

Oh the streamers got to me immediately in 2006. I refuse to go to JMU games at Unitas Stadium. The Streamers in combination of Towson not even attempting to play for more than 10 minutes makes for an unenjoyable experience.



Plus last time I went I realized that my two daughters were wearing purple winter coats. xoopsx

[Pitz]

Off the top of my head, I know Oregon does this as well. I'm sure there are others.

Scary thought. What if said daughters grow up and become hot and then go off to JMU and marry die hard JMU football fans xlolx xlolx xlolx I mean the purple coats.......they are off to a good start.

[andy7171]

If JMU offers them a scholarship, I'll go along with it. Otherwise, they'll never know the school existed.


Oh yeah and I ain't paying for any wedding that involves purple.

Although the track gives you a nice advantage during playoffs, since it allows your student section to sit directly behind the opposing team's bench :D

It's definitely two toned.

[UD77]

The reason it is two tone is that they actually mow it that way. Took the field staff a couple of months to figure out it wasn't real

That light blue stripe at the bottom of the boards. It's supposed to be yellow per NHL rules. The reason it's an issue for Flyers fans is that the Flyers painted theirs orange to match the unis and the NHL immediately made them put it back to yellow, while ignoring the Canadiens and one of the other teams from Canada. xnutsx
