Gonna have to replace some turf for next season

Post by damnyoutuesday » Tue Jan 06, 2026 11:08 pm

Sidelines at Bobcat Stadium say: "National champions '56 '76 '84". We're gonna need to update that for next season lol

Have to go to full years, can’t assume they’re 19— anymore!

My guess is it may be more than just the sidelines saying 2026 national championship....

I mean I think we make the FCS National Champions 2026 front and center in the middle of the field. EVERY TEAM that places here will see that in the middle of the field and be reminded of it.

Slightly expanding the topic, when was the turf last replaced? Seems like it is about due for a refresh anyway isn't it? It seemed when down on it this year that it didn't have much fill or feel to it. Maybe a good time to add some new numbers.

Sooooooo when we got turf it was the 1984 team that funded it correct?

Wouldn't that be something if we got new turf after our new National Championship! Kind of a cool thing that it started from the last natty team coming together and it leads to our 3rd? Iteration of turf after our next natty!

If so that would seem to indicate a 10 year lifespan between replacements so maybe we have a couple more seasons on this turf.

It was before the 2017 season. MSU actually had a video camera in the tower that we could log into and watch the installation. Good times.

Here is the thread.
