Does anyone know when they are breaking ground on the stadium renovations this spring? It's got to be getting close and I was wondering if they will have the live feed camera like they've done in the past. It's nice for those out of state. Anyone know?
How about new FieldTurf ? The grass looks amazing in September, yet declines in October and looks horrendous in November---and the playing conditions are awful.
Iowa can drop $500K replacing their 2-yr old stuff- at the drop of a hat.
We're afraid to offend our agronomy/turf management folks. Good lord. We almost lost to Drake because of our crappy field ion Dec 1 2018.

Pretty sure that the field was the same for both teams. One team played much harder than the other.How about new FieldTurf ? The grass looks amazing in September, yet declines in October and looks horrendous in November---and the playing conditions are awful.

I don't recall it getting bad in years past like it did this last season.

This week, then closed and fenced off Lot 85W near the Bergstrom Practice Facility. And took out evergreens around the Jack Trice statue (not sure why).

Aren't they moving the Jack Trice Statue to the middle of this plaza? I thought I saw it in the renderings or else I dreamt it being a good idea.This week, then closed and fenced off Lot 85W near the Bergstrom Practice Facility. And took out evergreens around the Jack Trice statue (not sure why).
Hardly a 'dead horse' issue.
Bringing back 'baseball', is a 'dead horse' issue, when it's financially unwise and would require a $20 million investment in a new stadium, scholarships, and roster to compete w/ Texas/OU etc.
A sh#tty playing surface for 1/2 the FB season in a Power 5 D1 football conference is not a 'dead horse' issue, when it's an ongoing, relevant problem every season
Most D3 schools have Field turf (Coe; Cornell, et al). Many high schools have Field turf.
RB Kene, for example, had at least 2 potential runbacks/returns for TD's nullified because he slipped on that crappy field. Watch the tape
Last time I checked, Drake didn't have a "Kene" on their roster
