I don’t know why they are spending that kind of money. They only win a couple games a yr. they need find a coach and keep their players there instead of transferring

Re: The future of grass fields
That is their plans. They are fund raising. Last I heard they were almost half way there

Re: The future of grass fields

Yes the kids do deserve a top notch facility. It will be so nice to have some room. And a nice facility.bfry wrote: ↑Tue Mar 19, 2019 10:19 pmBecause our kids deserve a top notch, updated facility as much as anyone else. God Bless.
Re: The future of grass fields
I've seen Piketon's new field, any pictures of Northwest's or Green's?
Re: The future of grass fields
I heard that Piketon's field has some issues and parts of it are like walking on a sponge.
Re: The future of grass fields
Don't know who did it or anything about them, or anything about the issues they are having, but you couldn't get a better top notch crew than the Company Waverly got to do theirs 4 years ago. 95% of the work and success of the field is what you don't see under the surface.....
Re: The future of grass fields
Agreed. Imagine if they spent as much effort and money in trying to lure a good coach or top assistant to come in and turn the program around. I guess flashy new uniforms and a new field are more important to some schools. But hey, at least they will look good when they get beat 50-7 every friday night.

Re: The future of grass fields
Piketons field is fine, walked on it today with others to go over maintenance and cleaning of the field. Track being put down real soon, followed by visitors bleachers. Field house construction will start soon.

Re: The future of grass fields
You're right Otto,if the program struggles make the kids use outdated facilities and crappy equipment. Try making some sense when you open your mouth.

Re: The future of grass fields
It's hilarious that people like you think that natural grass fields are "outdated". Last I checked 19 NFL teams still play on natural grass. You should go tell them that they're holding their teams back.
All i'm saying is, building the program is more important than having all the bells and whistles. But if you want to spend money, an updated weight room has more of an impact on wins than a shiny new field.

Re: The future of grass fields
I didn't say anything about grass fields being outdated, I'm aware the NFL uses it, I have cable. My point was your crappy remarks about Northwest. Kids deserve nice facilities and equipment, doesn't matter what shape the program is in.

Re: The future of grass fields
And they are getting an updated weight room and indoor practice facility for all sports.

Re: The future of grass fields
Correct. New weight room, locker rooms for football, soccer and track and field. Indoor turfed practice area with retractable batting cages. Turf field along with new press box and scoreboard. Extending home stands and including handicap accessible seating. Adding visitor stands. New ticket booth, concession and restrooms. Walk way to visitor side. Retaining wall on inside of front straight of track.
Re: The future of grass fields
I only speak the truth. Guess you can't handle it. I don't really care about hurting someone's feelings, especially yours.
Probably a football parent. Sounds like I hit a sore spot.
Re: The future of grass fields
The problem is, you didn't speak the truth. I think that was the point. It's not just a field, but an overall commitment, including a weight room. I too, could care less what you think.

Re: The future of grass fields
Each and every one of those 19 NFL franchises have the ability and means (the capital) to make a consistent, multi-seasonal and even weekly commitment toward the preservation, well-keeping and integrity of their natural grass playing surface.Otto wrote: ↑Wed Jun 12, 2019 1:13 pmIt's hilarious that people like you think that natural grass fields are "outdated".

The average southern Ohio district, or really any public school district in general, on the other hand does not. Combine that with the fact many districts utilize their football fields for multiple various purposes, it serves to make sense that school districts at least consider the prospect of going to artificial turf.
