St. Francis replacing turf

[SiuCubFan8]

SFHS is replacing their turf and remedied the issues and will be ready for summer camps (if any). Great news that they will be able to play at home, the new stadium with new building is a very nice facility. The turf appears to be blue now, for what its worth.

How long until it floods again?

That I cannot answer or what they did differently if anything.

What he asked! Why? And how?

 

[BigGroff]

Looks Terrible...I just am too much of a traditionalist....give me green Turf

Maybe they hired The Sodfather, Roger Bossard. Not like he has to worry about The Rate right now.

 

[ignazio]

I think they should go with a moat around the field.

Over under 3 years before another massive flood.

 

[epicbret]

Yeah that's not going to stop a creek...

I like this idea. Teams enter the field by going over a drawbridge.

Then bring back the checkerboard end zone at MCC!!!

Greatest field back in 99 other than the mosquitos!

Wow thats ugly

I don't see any issue with the Blue turf. Bloom's field looks nice. The issue I see is building on what is essentially a flood plain.

That's the issue I have. You can pitch the field and all the drainage you want. That creek spills its banks where and when it damn well pleases.

Agree with some of yall, I’m not a fan of the blue turf... what’s wrong with green?

Edit: Not a fan of any colored turf other than green, call me a traditionalist as well from above poster lol.

Regardless, good thing that they seem to have remedied the prior issues.. only thing left is to get back on the field, hopefully soon.

I don't disagree, I don't know enough to know if they have remedied the flooding or just remedied the issues with the field that was deemed unplayable. Spring is here so we will see......

[Magnum Opus]

Did a freshmen game at Bloom last year. My partner had blue bean bag, tough finding it. I Thought it was hilarious

Schools should really check with us first before making these decisions. After all, everyone is there to see us.

We stand out on a blue field. LOL

 

[Solid Snake Pliskin]

Turf doesn't have photosynthesis. I'm okay with colored turf.

Rittenhouse just got his 1st offer from Missouri State...good for him. Kid can play, his height is hurting him on recruiting trail.

Hope he gets other offers since I doubt Bobby Petrino will be at Missouri State long before moving on to the next gig.

Did it flood today?

 

[DlineDawg55]

Yes, completely submerged. Looked like the turf was actually coming up.

Perfect color for a spring regatta!

 

[ClownBaby]

There are large fish swimming on the field currently, what a waste of money.

To answer my own question it took about 10 days.

 

[ignazio]

The coach at Hope Academy is going to bust his appendix when he hears this.

 

[mc140]

Stop building a turf field on a flood plain.

Did it really flood?

 

[ClownBaby]

Did it really flood?

Yes it is under 12” of water as of 7pm last night.

 

[crusader_of_90]

That's soooooo messed up!

 

[stripes13]

What’s the story with the field? Reffed there are a few times, but not really from the area.
