Replacing the turf at Trice

I’m not going to dig through the Jack Trice Improvements thread and pull out all the posts where it was discussed.
Hybrid stitching would be awesome, because it makes it stronger for sport play. I did see that the budget for this project is $500k, so not sure if that would fit in that budget or not. Most NFL grass fields and all English Premier League fields use the hybrid stitching
Yeah no clue. But if muni fields can afford it. Seems like ISU can. No clue what stitching costs.
Ok I am right. My degree is in Turf. But carry on if you want to.
Amended soil is the term that was used. Apparently it is blended at an ISU farm? It was supposedly used as a base for the sod because most of the hillside fill was clay, as I recall.
I’m not speaking on my own authority, but remembering what was posted at the time that the hillside construction was going on. By someone who used to help make it. As I recall, they used the same base under the sod on the plaza—presumably for the same reason.
If you can’t handle that I have a memory for what someone else said, that’s your problem. Or, if you’re calling that person a liar, that’s fine too.
Also, please feel free to tell me that I misremember because you know for certain the facts, you have seen the actual invoices and that person was incorrect—not just because of what you presume to be true.
Otherwise, get over yourself.
You are an idiot. Like I said carry on. And yes I know personally who manages JTS field.
Looking at the videos in that twitter thread, it is after. But No clue if that is normal or not.
seems like both can happen. either run it over the existing grass or throw seed over after it has been installed. since we have a huge field growing the soon to be field. isu would lay the sod and then stitch after.
Well there you have it! After
The best natural field in all of college football just got better.
I'm clueless on this stuff. Does that imply this is an unexpected improvement? Or an unplanned necessity?
From what I have heard in the grapevine at least practice field wise it was an unplanned necessity.
