Purple field, hmmm.  That would rank up there with Boise St and Coastal Carolina for boldest fields in the country.

Eastern Washington is probably the boldest..and the hardest to see on TV

The purple and grey of Central Arkansas is hard to look at

Green grass please, I hope they don't go crazy trying to be Boise or EWSU.

 As for the rumor of a big donation.  The president did mention that the university did get the largest donation in university history.  I tried to google search and figure out who and what for but couldn't find anything.

Did you mean Yog-Yurt and have it shaped like a cloth hut?

 

Also, excited to see how the turf looks with the new logos etc.  It looked weird playing on turf with the old branding

What if they do a purplle field with gold endzones..

 

 

Yes, at the end I should have said "Go, Yurt."

can not say since it is a rumor - verified by more than one source..................Just remember I said they were looking at a Big Ten Transfer QB.............before there was an offer or commitment........  Rumor has it that there MAY have been a Massive Donation to Athletics.......... That's All Folks..

Anything yet?  I feel like Albany is shooting for the MAC or another FBS conference down the road.  Obviously a massive investment in athletic facilities would go a long way toward realizing that goal.

[ctdanes]

Not sure if the MAC is interested. but athletics program wise we aren’t far off of umass and buffalo. Also makes sense logistically being on i90

[ctdanes]

Mid week football games suck however if that was the case 

[UAalum72]

Even if we were interested, would Buffalo block our entry to the MAC

And I don't want to imagine Rodger Wyland confusing the MAC and the MAAC

The turf at Casey Stadium gets one more use on Wednesday evening....lol on Saturday, for my first time, I had the opportunity to be on the field after the game.

Worth staying around.

[dslyank]

Will the PLL be using Casey for their upcoming pre-season practice and opening weekend games?? Will this give enough time for the turf to be ready for football in August??

[bob87]

How long does that take. Last scheduled game is pll is on 6/2 with football scheduled for 8/31. Sometimes there is soccer scheduled for late August as well. Haven't saw their schedule yet.
