BarnWinterSportsEngelstad Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Field has a nice crown to it, looks like much improved. One thing did puzzle me a while ago shortly after the landscaping was done and the field all greened up, all grass turned brown like it was sprayed with round up, eventually it was all black again. This grass looks pretty healthy now, like it will be ready for the new season? Someone know why this was done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarnWinterSportsEngelstad Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I know this is not the appropriate thread for these next pictures, but here are two parking lots close to this field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarnWinterSportsEngelstad Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 The middle picture is of the completed parking lot between The Ralph and The Med School The other two are of the parking lot being completed that is south of old St Michael's Hospital.

nodak651 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Looks like the soccer schedule is out and all the games are scheduled for East Grand Forks HS. Guessing this is so they can continue to work on the playing surface near the Ralph? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't want to get on the field to early and ruin it. Sounds like it is coming in very nicely, but they are being cautious with it.

Pretty young grass plants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWSiouxMN Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I really don't know what to expect from this squad, but given what they have coming back, I would guess they would be picked in the top half of the Summit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiouxFan100 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I imagine there is no rent being changed nice to have the option though sounds like we scored just 8 seconds into the game?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDtoGF Posted August 9, 2018 Author Share Posted August 9, 2018 Last night's game was superb. Manitoba scored on a long shot close to the end of the game, but 5-1 was superb. I have some thoughts on the game and what to watch for Saturday in the link below. https://seamoresports.com/2018/08/09/three-quick-thoughts-on-und-soccers-preseason-opener-5-1-victorybeyond-the-box-score/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Green Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Any idea why they are not playing their games at memorial stadium. Seems to make more sense than in EGF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it’s set up for the public, even though they could stick a few porta potties there and call it good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Memorial isn't wide or long enough. Egf is easier because Koberinski's daughter plays on the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoggy Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 I believe the soccer team has been using EGF field in spring for years. Football used to always have scrimmage there in fall but isn't allowed to anymore. That changed when they went D1. Recruiting issue so it's odd soccer can.
