Shepherd's new field turf

[wvftballfan]

I saw that Shepherd is in the process of getting their field turf replaced. Anyone know if the design as far as the end zone and center field logo will be the same? I saw a truck hauling the old field turf away. I am surprised they didn't make some sort of fund raiser and give portions of that away.

Not sure of the end zones, I was told from a SU staff member the center will have Rams in script. Agin I was told Years back the team had an aggressive/mean looking Rams head design with a ring in its nose (like Bulls/cattle). IMO that would have been really nice.

Well Shepherd will be able to be the second team to play on Mercyhurst New Turf field being installed as we speak.

Re: Shepherd's new field turf

I had received a mailer some time ago that the Athletic Department had officially launched a campaign to raise $600,000 to replace the existing field turf. I'm guessing they received the funds? Now, we need to launch a campaign to add the lights, build/add concession locations, improve bathroom facilities and add the additional seating - We'd have a first-class Division 2 stadium.

Nice look on the logo. (From the Journal-News.)

Yes those would be nice... The next campaign needs to raise enough money to be fully funded year in and year out. This would allow SU to be a strong annual regional contender. Just my two cents. Go Rams!

Re: Shepherd's new field turf

Any word if they will be adding the lacrosse field boundaries as well? I would love to keep this turf 'football' only moving forward but I'm sure that won't be the case. If for some reason they don't and lacrosse plays elsewhere (soccer complex) - then, a few of the rumors I've been hearing may be in the mix. Possibly adding wrestling and women's field hockey to compete in PSAC - DMV is strong in both and would greatly benefit SU if they were to make the investment. Then, I could see a field hockey/lacrosse field in the future if true.

The new field has the lacrosse lines on it.

Yeah .. that sucks. That's the drawback to the 'multipurpose' field.

There are some basketball venues in the PSAC that you can't even tell the out of bounds line they have so much crap on them.

The only turf football field I can think of off the top of my head that doesn't have any markings on it other than lines for football is Harrisburg High.
