Title: Schoellkopf field
Post by: chimpfood on August 15, 2023, 09:22:17 PM
I was at schoellkopf today and the steps and structure of the stadium is literally falling apart all over the place and the turf is pretty terrible at this point. Does anyone know if there is a plan to fix up the stands or put in new turf any time soon?

Probably after we post a winning record . . . so no time soon.  Oh, Schoellkopf is also used for lacrosse and commencement, so maybe sooner.

nah it's just very matted down and when you look at any lacrosse or football highlights it is eye catchingly ugly with various dark and light patches

thats why i ask because you need to apply filler to maintain the fields. I dont know how you tell if its matted down.. I mean have you been on other well maintained turf fields to compare how much of the grass is above the fill line?

I remember thinking the stadium was going to collapse into rubble.  In 1981.

Fucker'll outlast the pyramids.

That's what deferred maintenance looks like
