Siouxperfan7 Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 And new turf again.... Wonder if UND could find a use for it and get a deal on the stuff being replaced similar to what NDSU was able to do. Not sure where it could be installed though? Soccer field? So does this mean that The Alerus Center along with UND can fix their mistake and put the interlocking ND at midfield?!! 1 Quote
dmksioux Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 That probably explains what I saw on my way home today. There was a flatbed trailer loaded with rolled up turf on it. The truck was on Demers turning left and heading north on Washington...if that was the turf from the Alerus, wonder where the truck was headed? Quote
SIOUXFAN97 Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 saw that u of wyoming got some new turf...cowboy logo at midfield, wyoming in one endzone and cowboys in the other, the MW logo to the right of midfield, and the name of the field in block script on the lower left of the field near the 20's.... anyone know if the clowns at the aurora decided to maybe just maybe try a different design the second time around???

108498 Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 The Wyoming Cowboys field also will have mountains in the endzones. I think we should have a picture of something in ours that represent North Dakota or Grand Forks. What would that be though? Quote

Likely storage until it is ready to go down into the IPF. Quote

While I agree there should be something UND related at mid-field, War Memorial Stadium is owned by the U of Wyoming and I would guess they paid for the turf themselves (or through donations to the school). Until UND moves football back to a University owned stadium, they won't have 100% say over everything. Quote
SIOUXFAN97 Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 i guess i was wondering more about the new rules that someone posted on here about how many logos can now be on the field??? if altru is gonna get there logos on the field??? if the alerus center logo has/will be moved?? Quote
dmksioux Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 Likely storage until it is ready to go down into the IPF. That would make sense. Guess I didn't know they were keeping that turf for the IPF. Quote
Hayduke Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 Here is a pic of the new U-dub field. (Go Pokes, keep the Bronze Boot!) Quote
jdub27 Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 That would make sense. Guess I didn't know they were keeping that turf for the IPF. I had heard (though not confirmed) that they were going to be able to use the "old" new turf for the IPF. I assume they would have been able to get a deal on it similar to what NDSU did and then used for their outdoor practice field. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 I think we should have a picture of something in ours that represent North Dakota or Grand Forks. What would that be though? The endzone is flat and level. It's either green or has a white overlayer. What more representative do you want? Replace the corner pylons with sandbags maybe? Quote

SIOUXFAN97 Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 kind of looks like their new field kind of went by the new rules the ncaa handed down...school logo, conference logo, either name of building or field on the hashes, and name of school in the endzones.... Quote

It does, I am hoping we follow this rule the second time around. I have never been a fan of advertisements all over the field or ice. Quote

Moving the Alerus Center logos to where they have them on that fiels would make a helk of lot more sense. Stupid to have the Alurus logo right at midfield. I really hope that the powers that be at the Alerus Center heard enough grumblings from fans that they will use this mulligan and do the field right (with the ND logo in the middle) 3 Quote
UND-FB-FAN Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 ND logo should be at midfield - it’s that simple. I understand Alerus wants to be promoted and so forth, but the Alerus Center logos should be offset at either the 40 or 20, not in the middle of the field! 2 Quote
108498 Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 It doesn't mater what we think the field should have. We just had new turf put in last year and won't see a change for a few years likely. Quote

They are putting in new turf as we speak I believe. There was a problem with the stuff they installed.last year........ Quote
UNDColorado Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 Has anybody caught a glimpse of the new turf by chance? Quote
108498 Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 Wow I had not heard about this. I was wondering why all this talk was going on. Quote
108498 Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 Any pictures or news on when the field should be done? Quote
ibleedgreen Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 If someone would fix the webcam in the Alerus we would be able to see the progress..... http://www.aleruscenter.com/?page=webcam 1 Quote
