Sorry if posted. Looks like last time they had this honor was in 1996.

The field this year was amazing all season. Incredible job. I heard it from opposing fans all year how good it looked. Many couldn't believe it was real.

Re: Jack Trice Stadium named top field by Sports Turf Managers Association
I know they play later into the year and host more events, but living in Chicago, and always hearing about ISU's best in the world turf as an alum...there has to be some way Soldier Field's turf could be better. The precipitation is almost the same and temperature is only slightly cooler because of the lake. Whatever Ames gets we get 12-24 hours later, yet best turf for an NCAA team and worst turf in the NFL (not that many NFL teams even have it anymore).

Well deserved, especially for being in the northern part of the country. ISU has a terrific natural grass field.

You know why Jack Trice's field always looks so awesome? This guy: Chuck Lidell: I paint my toenails with pink and black polish. Problem is, I get more paint on my toes and on the carpet than on my nails. Any advice? Maria Sharapova: Don't you beat up other guys for a living? I don't know how to answer this.  -

I spend at least 2 hours a day on my lawn and I don't want that time to be wasted so my kids are not allowed on it. If they want to play outside there is nice park with swings, ball field, basketball goal, and much more just 7 blocks away.
So if my kids aren't allowed on it I sure as heck am not going to allow other neighborhood ruffians to track their little Nike's (no Traxx in this area, we are the upper crust after all) thru my Sod of God.

I bet we would have won it last year too, but the field had to endure 2 stormings.

People in Colorado are jealous that Iowa State has the best "grass" in the nation.

Mike Andreason used to be in charge of the football field facilities, but he may be retired by now. If he still is, congratulations to Mike.

Re: Jack Trice Stadium named top field by Sports Turf Managers Association
This is awesome! Congrats to the turf guys. I am so glad that we have grass and not turf.
