Well stated John. I am a former soccer Ram and can attest that playing on a field with painted endzones ruins the game, not to mention what it can do to the players (particularly the goalkeepers). That said, a logo in the middle should not be that big a deal. What actually concerns me most is all the yard lines that will be on the soccer field. It is a huge distraction and probably is for baseball as well. I don't mind soccer on Field Turf, but on a field shared with football it is less than ideal. -- FORDHAM RAMS FOOTBALL FORUM

In reply to: JohnG92 's message, "I understand not painting the end zones--this field will be used by many teams, as it should be. Don't get how an "F" in the middle will be a distraction to anyone though. I don't think this is a big deal though...Notre Dame doesn't paint their field and it looks classy. It would be nice if the plans for Jack Coffey included some stonework, a wrought iron fence instead of a chain link fence border, temporary visitors stands that don't look cheesy, and getting rid of what looks to be junk and/or old equipment underneath the stands. Perhaps the new field will allow us to schedule better teams." on 20:33:19 01/11/05 Tue

The Field Turf is great for soccer to practice on, but given the yardage lines situation I think soccer should continue to play their games on Edwards Parade. (NT) J�Dete93 23:54:38 01/11/05 Tue

Simple solution: keep the soccer games on Eddie's and paint the end zones. (NT) CKRAM98 15:22:16 01/13/05 Thu

GUYS SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT AND SIMPLE SOLUTION BUT YOU NEED TO CONVEY YOUR POINT TO ADMIN.... because right now football field will be as 'bland' as they come... (NT) -- #8, 16:04:17 01/14/05 Fri
