Wow. Didn't realize they just use those same peel off decals that I put on my car. :smile:

"That, looks great - but who are the Chefs?"

I think it looks pretty sweet - however, I think they need to find a way to make it stand out a little bit more - that paint seems to get lost in the green of the grass VERY easily...

Perhaps they can add a Navy blue outline to it?:wideeyed:

Is it just me, or does the end zone painting look faded?


They probally have to put a 2nd coat of paint on... I remember when they started painitng last year it looked faded, but it got better :yes:

Question! So how does that huge stencil help them with anything when it's between the ground and where they're trying to paint?

Yeah, they put more on. Remember what the field looked like when they took the grass out? Clear markings of the old paint on the dirt below the old turf.

From the article:

"Cyclones.com will provide more in-depth photos and video next week as facilities and grounds will add a second coat of paint to the midfield logo and end zones, as well as paint hashes, yard lines and boundaries".

Going to look SWEET!

:biggrin:

Yeah, if you look at it closely, you see they have "dashed lines" cut into it so they spray those onto the field and then color "in between the lines"

Hope they do something more with those walls than just the plain cardinal color...
