The University also saved money by going with the �all green� field. The contractor told me a �permanently painted� field costs significantly more because the markings are woven into the carpet, not painted. -- FORDHAM RAMS FOOTBALL FORUM

In reply to: DamnRam 's message, "If Fordham is going to get in the habit of painting and removing lines before and after each football game, this means the availability of the field will be reduced for other sports and uses. Also, the cost of paint and paying someone to do this overnight will offset the cost savings gained by eliminating lawn care expenses. Either way, good work checking this out ramMan and another example of a message board compensating for institutional silence." on 12:50:22 02/01/05 Tue

Thanks for providing this background, ramMan. Excellent detective work. This should have been provided on the Fordham Athletics website since there have been so many alums inquiring about it. (NT) Rambacker 13:27:40 02/01/05 Tue
