They changed the camera angle.

Love the view. I hope they keep the camera going throughout the whole process unlike others who have turned their live feed off. I think a lot of people love construction - especially athletic facility construction - and will check in regularly. Just one more way to generate interest in the BGSU and the football program. Could be a $1,000,000 of advertisement for football.

I hope the turf will not look too plain. Hopefully they will make it look like no other MAC schools.

It would be interesting to see the number of hits the sebo/field turf cam has received.

It appears that the grass/dirt took up a good 2-3 feet. I am wondering if they will be lowering the playing surface at all. That was one of the reccommendations I have made in the past to improve the stadium. I remember when they did that at the old Cleveland Stadium and it improved the sight-lines from behind the plate/endzone area.

Did they find Hoffa?

The turf will be brown and orange every ten yard section will be different.

At mid-field, instead of a falcon head, I heard they were going to put the girl laying down with her legs kicked up like you see on semi's mudflaps.

DD,

I was wondering that as well so I asked the AD a couple minutes ago! I would like to see the field level drop as well.

How far can the field drop? Wood county isn't the highest dry-est place out there

Exactly, I always joked in years past when we had all the referee mic problems that it was because he was below sea level
