New field turf

Thoughts?

I love how green Sentinel is.

I think the turf looks great. I know there's been discussion about the white outline around the grizzly but it stands out better now, whereas previously the edges were hard to see.

I've been rewatching some of last year's games and it was noticeable to me how worn the turf was from the field level shots. I think it was definitely time.

And yes, Mount Sentinel looks amazing right now. By fall, not so much...but I'm always just happy if there's no forest fires when I get up there for a game.

Maroon/Crimson/Burgundy & Silver.

Gotta fix this.

The big sky and the advertising should be half the size they are on this version of the turf. 5 yard max. Readable, but not too much.

Couldn't get the link to open.

I love how the white makes everything pop. Looks much better and glad to have a better maroon in the endzone than the last turf.

Looks good!

I dont have too much of a problem with the sponsor logo as they are supporting the university and deserve to be seen (#bsc logo is a different matter but I do like symmetry).

If the Griz logo was bigger it would probably look better all around. Google says college hashmarks are 40 feet apart so currently the logo is about 40ft tall by about 30ft wide. I would like to see future versions be more like 1.25x larger or so...so, at least 50ft tall by 37.5ft wide. But maybe then the hashtags and 45 yard lines would be covered so maybe that's why they don't do it larger now?

....actually, just picturing only an extra yard wider towards each end zone and only 5 feet over each of the hastags might not be enough to be noticeable...might have to be 1.5x bigger! Haha

Thoughts?

this'll get some thumbs down, but i think it looks gaudy, the colors are too oversaturated. plus, the bear is too small considering the other emblems, and it's white outline looks... cheap. i do agree that sentinel looks great, though.

Looks FANtastic! I hope we got a Petrino discount.

Good news is that everything looks better when 27K+ Griz fans are packed into the bleachers around the stadium!

When someone gives you a badly needed gift, just be grateful and don’t find ways to judge and criticize. It means money from ticket revenue, other donor and event funding etc can be utilized elsewhere. And we have numerous “elsewhere’s” that are in need.

I don't like it. Looks too fake. We need to go back to real grass.

what, i can't have an opinion on the paint job? it's nice that somebody donated the money for the field, but the initial question posited was 'thoughts?', and i gave my thoughts on the aesthetics, nothing else.
