Casey Stadium Turf

[UAalum72]

Stadium opens in tomorrow (women's soccer vs. LIU)

Per the game story 

Unlike the original turf, yardage markers and numbers were not included with the updated surface. The department will utilize a painting system to install necessary markers before home contests to keep a "clean" look when switching between sports.

So the field won't have permanent lines, just the yard lines? i love this.  Also, great job creation

Checked it out later, you can see the outline of the numbers. I also wonder how the painting works if it’s raining, or 25 degrees, or snowing

If there is a soccer game Friday night and football Saturday; do they "wash" off the soccer markings before Saturday??? And as important if football Saturday and soccer Sunday, how long does it take to re-mark the field?

And like you said how do/does the temporary makings hold up during the game stress of players running all over and weather???

Not sure I am sold on this?? Especially when lacrosse comes along with quite different makings then football and a lot of wear and tear. Not sure about soccer makings how they intersect coincide??

We all know why Stony Brook got the facilities they did. The damn guys name is on the football stadium.

We gotta admit though, despite the money/budget compared to others in the state, the athletic department has done a reasonable job in updating what it can.

By the way, maybe off topic, but what is John Fallon Field used for at this point except for a practice field?

It's easy peasy...done on numerous pro fields, regularly.

They bought the computer line machine that I believe uses satellites to pinpoint location and can redo them at will - does take a couple of hours I think. Watched them doing it one day.  [not sure if I am saying this correctly or if this makes sense but it was what I was told]

Saw some twitter posts from the football account.  We look fast...was trying to figure out who was wearing #5 on a long TD run.  Didn't look like Burkett but he is #5, and we have no #5's listed as a RB. 

Frosh QB physically reminds me (throwing style and body style) of Peyton Manning as a frosh.  Obviously he is no Manning...but if this kid fills out, he will be good.  He needs 20lbs or he will be beat up at this level.

That is Seven McGee WR the transfer from Oregon and Jackson State, Burkett was #4 in yellow

Seven is #7, Myles is #5, Trey is #3  in game jerseys

Freshman QB is good - throws really well. Has to gain some weight but he is a good one.  Jared and Greg both love him.....

Redshirt possible then?

Don't know about that - that could be the plan but they could play him if forced - I know he is getting more reps at practice.  # 4 QB will likely not play at all, Not in the mix.
