New FieldTurf Surface Installed at Gillette Stadium

Oh God.

Call me superstitious but I just saw "New fieldturf installed in Gillette Stadium" right above the thread "Brady on Cover of Madden 2018" and I almost crapped my browsin' sweatpants.

Nah, no worries. The turf is green and rejuvenating, it's avocado.

Actually it's homeostasis.

Well the Revolution game went well last night .... the players liked the turf a lot ...
was really weird not seeing the Patriots paint on it, even though they take it off you can still see it a bit - was like a newly surfaced pool table.

The ball was a bit slow on it as the game went along probably due to the black pellets.
By games end there appeared to be more black than green ... they'll water it down with a big hose as usual to make it faster.
Normally they do that before the game and at halftime but it was raining last night so they skipped the halftime drench.

I know some folks here want to go back to the days of broke-ass Billy Sullivan owning the joint and miss the aluminum seat with puddles of Shaefer beer everywhere and parking in the mud, but I'm not one of them.

I remember those games like it was yesterday, puddles and all.

People not alive then have no idea...

That... seems like a lot of rubber pellets.

Regarding Lambeau Field vs Gillette Stadium, isn't that all due to heating coils that were installed beneath the field surface in Green Bay?

If Felger brings this topic anytime soon, is it proof that he peruses this website for his material?

Lets paint it blue one day like Boise St and confuse the **** out of the Jills or whoever is in town that week

They are still using black rubber pellets? I thought they had better stuff to use at this point.

Either that or "Harvest Gold" at that time they were considered some sort of status symbols...

Nice to see the Pats investing in state of the art stuff... many of us remember the days when this type of thing would not be done. because of cost...

Heh really though, we should paint the endzones blue like it is at the Super Bowl.

Im thinking that one day it will come out that the players will be getting ill from the rubber pellets. More then likely breathing problems from inhaling them
