I totally forgot they replaced the IPF truf a few years back...yeah burn that ____.

I could use some turf for my yard... Hmmm... Yes - green year-around. Maintainance free! I'm liking this thought!

If I recall ... The cost in 2008 was $800,000 including a completely new drainage system.

I wonder how much money we saved over 10 years.

Back in the late 2000's that field was HORRIBLE !!!!

Add whatever coach Bab was making for prepping marking and mowing the field ( X10 ) plus any raises he night have gotten,

Then subtract $800,000 and any upkeep and bead replacement of the current field.

... Abd you have the savings.

About $300k over a 10 year span.

I'm sure it'll be the exact same design but I'd make some tweaks if it were up to me. Go with the fluer de lis as the mid field logo, red end zones and white text.

hopefully we get red endzones with white LOUISIANA in them.

Not if UL-Monroe has anything to say about it and you know how we don't want to hurt their feelings...

Just out of curiosity and not to be that complainer out there but why wait so long to purchase and install? They are installing in early August and our first game is September 2. I'm not sure how long the install takes but what happens if we are running into weather delays or god forbid, a hurricane rips through as they are installing it pushing things back for weeks? Seems like we are really cutting it close to that opening day timeline.
