That's what I was thinking. The same picture angle, just with a bowled in endzone and huge video board... :yes:

Yep, the rollers have the biggest impact on making the sweet stripes. Damn the field looks good.

100% true. At my high school's field "running downhill" wasn't just a term used by sportscasters. You could always tell which schools didn't have the high crown on their fields as their quarterbacks were either throwing it way over the heads of people or at their feet for warmups and during the first couple series until they got the elevation changes figured out.
I just have bad flashbacks about the field conditions in Iowa City 2 years ago. Of course I know that we will do much better than having 6" tall sod and splashing water on the field. I'm still concerned about the field conditions neutralizing what I would expect to be a speed advantage on our side.
:biglaugh: Yes. I remember some fields having such a huge crown that when you stood on one sideline and looked across the field to the other, you couldn't see the opposing teams legs.

Iowa's field was at the end of its life cycle and their drainage had been hurt with the flooding. Jack Trice is not that way. The field will drain just fine barring a downpour before or during the game. I would not worry about the field

From a confirmed lawn perfectionist, the rollers are the key!
I'll admit it, I actually have a roller setup for my push mower to get the distinct striping. I don't use it every time because it adds 10-15lbs. to the weight. But when I do use it, woohooo, it looks good!

I'll disagree with you there. I think that might have to go to Invesco field at Mile High. Its a hybrid natural\artificial turf
(also a former band\corps nerd)
Best turf I have ever seen or marched on.

I personally love the field turf. Especially when grass fields start getting big divots from the spikes a few games in.
