For those asking about the grass in the new stadium

Weed Tolerance?

Usually great because of what it's watered with: salt or brackish water. If weeds do pop up, they can be treated with salt for elimination. The big thing with the previous paspalums has been disease. But with this type(PlatinumTE), they're saying not as prone to disease. IMO, that will be what to watch for.

But what about the lights?

How is it for speed? Our old OB turf was kept very, very short to enhance speed of players and give bigger advantage from our speed. The cow pasture are Joe Robbie did the opposite.

The grass can be mowed below .125 inch which is probably a lot shorter than they'll need for a football field.

Haven't played(golf) on this type of paspalum yet, but the seashore type was aggressive growing. Have also heard of this being used at several courses for greens, not only for the saltwater or brackish use, but that it can take a pounding.

I haven't played on it either. I was an assistant superintendent here in Charleston at a 27 hole course when the Ocean Course out on Kiawah Island went to paspalum and it was a pretty big deal for them to change out their greens. I got to check it out up close at the PGA Championship in 2012 right after I left the business. I don't even have an opinion but the water it tolerates is a pretty big deal. I've also read that it can take a pounding and that a lot of times you don't even have to fix a ball mark on the greens. I always thought that had to do with green construction but it's starting to sound like it might be the grass.

Here is how it looks at 1:30pm local time. Looks like more panels needs to go in, but probably waiting until the last mintues so the sunlight can come in for the grass.

Grass is already pretty much dead. These guys could **** up a cup of coffee.

That's probably just a layer of sand, dude. It's used to fill in holes, and empty spots. Don't start worrying yet, lol

I heard all these images being circulated are fraudulent. Dolphins brass paid to have lights and turf photoshopped into these pictures just to provide fodder to amateur landscape architects and lighting technicians on messageboards. They were motivated by the previous efforts of the junior structural engineering crowd.

That said, I just put some artificial turf in my backyard. Old school baby. Three Rivers Stadium/Astrodome blend. You blow out both knees just walking on the ****.

Haha. I tried but the entire inventory was stained with Lenny Dykstra chaw juice.

I put that Vet turf up around my house like a mote. You can't get past all those seams without tearing both knees to shreds.

Nobody noticed the only human posing in this picture? He is standing seemingly without a tether on the frame of the canopy. I can tell with some degree of certainty, that this guy is not afraid of heights like me :sanford:

That's Mark Richt, showing he's on top of things.

Question:

In previous renderings, the canopy went to the edge of the frame. Is that not going to be the case? Makes it look like the main areas covered are upper deck and a portion of the Club seats.

That ETFE which isn't completely installed will be what goes to the edge of the frame.

Fred G. Sanford. The "G" stands for grass.

I expect those last panels to be glass of some sort

Thank you. Seems odd. The original renderings with the canopy going to the edge were exciting. The place looked like a dungeon.

That would be super stupid. More shade is needed, not glass which would let the sun in and cause a baking effect.
