Tiger Stadium playing surface

Here's a list of football playing colleges in the state of Louisiana: LSU, Tulane, Tech, ULM, ULL, McNeese, Nicholls, Northwestern St., SLU, Southern, Grambling, La. College.

Now name the only three schools not to have some synthetic grass playing surface in its stadium? LSU, Southern, Grambling

I think it's high time LSU bite the proverbial bullet and install some type of synthetic grass surface. Obviously, whatever they have been doing in Tiger Stadium for the last 5-7 years isn't working. The surface sucks and if you saw the Ole Miss game it was horrible. Painted dirt. Even Miles commented that "something needs to be done" about it.

You would think that a school that has a major in turf management would be able to have a great playing surface in Tiger Stadium. Besides the obvious need for a better tract, with the speed we have and continue to recruit I think it would be to LSU's best interest to install a synthetic grass surface.

No never. Football was meant to be played on grass, not reformulated tires.

 

Louisiana College's new field has synthetic turf.

my bad misunderstood....

 

Agreed. Now we just need to figure out how to make it happen.

 

Field goal kickers had some fugly little tee tiny facemasks too, not to mention how much I hated that "butt pad" up my ass.

 

FYI, LSU is looking for a new Turf Manager:

After what I saw this year you could've fooled me.

 

I agree with this, on tv it looks really good... but when I was at that game I was shocked to see the real condition of the field. Guess tv does hide serious flaws.

 

Back in San Jose, some friends and I got together and played some football on a high school's newly renovated Nike field (big $$)... it was a lot like playing on grass without it coming up and getting muddy.

I like that LSU has real grass, but the field always looks so torn up, especially towards the end of the season... more so than other school's. They should at least invest in some kind of treatment system to prolong the durability of the grass. Not sure if that is even realistic. :huh:
