Turf

[aeromech]

We have Shaw Legion NXT from what I can find. Probably not good diplomatically to dump Shaw for another turf. The Titans are moving to Matrix Helix. The Benz uses Fieldturf, which appears to be the most widely used turf in the NFL. Jerry Jones palace in Dallas uses Matrix RealGrass. There are more turf products on the market than I thought.

I have a buddy that is a VP at a grass fiber plant. Hot industry right now.

Typically, streets, stadiums, courts, etc, are named for great coaches, players, and administrators. Georgia Tech should honor TStan by naming all of the game day portable toilets outside of BDS as “TStans.”

TurdStan, anyone?

 

[CornerBlitz]

Our natural grass surface was perfect..some of the best if not the best grass in the nation. We screwed it up. Place blame as you will.

If we’re talking about new turf for BDS, might as well think BIG—‘old gold’-colored field with hexagonal-patterned end zones, amirite?

Our local hs uses field turf. Only reason I know is that sometimes a team traveling to the Benz will practice on our hs field because of the playing surface. Not sure why GT can't afford something a local school district can.

We can afford FieldTurf. Shaw has a long history of hiring engineers from GT. In fact, the Edge building is the JC "Bud" Shaw building. I'm nearly certain Shaw had the connections to get us to buy their product

Shaw is owned by Berkshire Hathaway now, who also owns Russell Athletic. Karma

Stingtalk members would dig up and remove our current field, free of charge.

Not sure if it's the premium rug, but former Shaw CEO & Ch of the Board Vance Bell, GT FB Letterwinner, got GT & TStan a good price.

Shaw employs a lot of GT alums in Dalton, a town that has been historically a very UGAg town.

 

[savbandjacket]

The turf is atrocious and looks bush league. It’s even worse that GT hands were involved in designing it and hoodwinked our idiot former AD into using it.

I am fairly certain we do.

Shaw Sports Turf’s newest fiber system. Including the exemplary ThunderBolt Fiber, Legion NXT is a hybrid system that offers realistic aesthetics with an electrifying degree of durability. This system is built for strength, built for pushing the envelope and providing endurance through even the toughest of match-ups.

It is designed to last 30+ years; so learn to love it.

Quick. Give me some adjectives to describe our new "cutting edge" turf.

"Electrifying degree"

It doesn’t look realistic unless you are going for the worn out municipal park field with mud pits look. That’s what it looks like with the coconut stuff pooled in places on the field.

Realism, my man.

Realism, my man.

We should have a refrigerated/frozen field and play a September game on "the frozen tundra"

Make it a white out and you have an idea.

Seems like most terf fields have a ten year life span. If ours lasts 30 then we got a great deal
