Any idea if that spot on the field that looked damaged has been replaced/fixed?
Also, as far as the 'grind' stuff that goes in, it makes the field look less like a carpet, but it sure is a pain in the ass to play on sometimes. A little bit of moisture and it will stick all over skin, socks, shoes and jerseys. After playing minimal time on the Nike turf field at Bexley HS, I think I ended up with about a cup worth of that stuff in my cleats.
That being said, I still think it's totally worth it. The grip/agility and speed that field turf provides is incredible.

The "matted" spots were still there, but until the whole process of installation is complete, I'm not concerned with them. I'm sure a certain percentage of the square footage is expected to be in a sub-par condition on each installation. Therefore, I'm betting they have adequate contingency plans in place to fix it.

At least you thought she was cute....and a girl. Imbibing can make anyone or anything look "cute".
But, no I had subsequent meetings with this girl.... she also lived in my apartment complex. I actually attended her wedding a few years later. Life is strange.
Grant, thanks for the pics. The Doyt's really starting to look great. Too bad I probably won't make it to a game this year... again... except for Minnesota.
Good one
