For Butch: Time will tell if FieldTurf is best for Yale Bowl

[huskymedic]

@Butch -> I thought I saw Walter Camp rolling in his grave passing by Grove Street the other night...

Yale Field (baseball venue) has had what seems to be FieldTurf already. It's disturbing. It's like playing on a plastic carpet with rubber pebbles.

Understand why this had to be done, but this is sacrilege.

They should put up a retractable dome. They can swing it with the endowment.

Whatever. That’s progress, and that grass was a mess. The turf actually looks good. Don’t want to see our boys on it at The Rent, but looks decent.

Agreed with the "it sucks but I get it" theory.

Field turf is a far superior playing surface than bad grass. I feel like any game I saw there the field was always in terrible shape.
Only reason the Rent isn’t field turf is for men’s soccer.

The bigger travesty is playing soccer on turf. I am ok with lacrosse, but not soccer.

Have not been there in decades. Do you still pee on the wall in men's room?

 

[Griggs]

Way overdue. See you at portal 8.

"This stadium is nice, I just wish that it had astroturf like all the stadiums in the 80's." - Says everyone.

Yes.
