New Stadiums

[DaneFan2k3]

Nevermind, I think I see them now ... I thought they were scoreboards but I think there are lights in the corners ... tough to tell becuase it's a small picture.

 

I thought the article was funny because it basically said Fallon gave for the success of the men's team, nothing about the women's team except that they could use the field.

[Dane96]

From what I remember, way back when, this was actually going to be a men's only field and then they switched it...i think woman were going to share field hockey.

 

I like the new seating arrangements. I also think, more impt than the press box, lights are the first thing that should be added....night games with local lax players and families coming would be a HUGE SPRINGTIME HIT. Plus, we will be prepared for those night playoff games.

Hopefully they find a good spot to hang those four championship banners!

what i would like to see done is them put flag powels in at these stadiums with championship banners or flags on them. same for softball, football etc...

Something like this?

[GreatDanes06]

exactly like that...doesnt even need to be attached to the American Flag pole...seriously, how hard is it to put an extra flag pole into the ground? Plus, i have a feeling, the Athletic Dept would pay for the banners to show off its accomplishments.

[GreatDanes06]

they never mentioned how many people each field can take...if i had to guess, 2k for the mens, and maybe 1k for the field hockey?

Don't ask.

 

A football alum (or parent?) donated to the football field. Those three poles were tens of thousands of dollars. Ask around and maybe you can find out the cost.

 

And then you'll know that it is a big deal, so put them all on one pole.

Report on Channel 10 said about 2,000 for lax and 500 for field hockey, if you believe Dan Murphy. The picture looks like more than that for FH.

 

As for the flag poles, maybe you don't need a 60-footer. Hang them from a wire between the the light poles. Or use shorter poles like the conference team banners at the baseball field.

[GreatDanes06]

ive been home for the past few days, so i havent beenable to see the news from around albany...yea im not even talking about a pole that big...a small pole if anything, just something for the fans and players to see.

 

Yea to me that Field Hockey looks more near 1k then 500. I was pretty close on the lacrosse field.

I assume that the new fields will be field turf ?

 

Not sure if the surface for field hockey would be a different turf than lacrosse would need.

[UAalum72]

Yes, they will be two different types of artificial turf. A story on the Carrier Dome getting new turf said they may move the old Astroturf to the Syracuse FH field. FH needs a faster surface.
