Fielding the NEW Swamp

[ulforlife]

Here's a few pictures I took when I went by when they were putting in the numbers a few nights ago.

That picture looking from section A looks super and its not even done yet...

The inserts are not glued to the padding they are glued to the backing which is on top of the padding, the green fibers are shaved down to the backing and the new fibers which already has backing on it is glued down. The product is much like the carpet in a home. So if the turf ever needs to be restreched every thing will move as one piece. _

I'm surprised the fuzzy white that I thought was from paint didn't wash away with the downpour.

What's the status on your move to Houston? Where did you decide to live?

Slide pictures this afternoon @ 4 PM. That first shot must have had some interference from the unknown. I will investigate that at a later date.

I agree it doesn't look good. However, I believe Scott Farmer stated that the plan was to pressure wash the stadium once the turf installation is complete. There was a reason for doing the washing after the turf but I don't recall what it was. In any case, I believe the lettering is to be repaired after the pressure washing since the pressure washing may remove more of the letters. So as bad as it looks right now the admin says there is a reason for it. Now if they don't follow through I will be right there with you guys howling in protest.

I ran into Scott Farmer this evening. He suggested people go by and look at the field. His comment was that the pictures do not do justice to how well the job is progressing. Logo work will supposedly begin tonight. I suggested he take a look at the thread in which people give their opinion as to the priority of facility projects. He did mention that pressure washing of the stadium is something that will occur soon.

Frenchie:

Frenchie dont stop posting, everyone is very greatful of the pictures you put up. Especially the out-of-towners. Mr Farmer was only saying that even though the pictures look wonderful, the field is even more impressive in person. I for one wait anxiously for each post you make. Thanks!
