At first I was against going to artificial turf but now I’ve warmed up to it. I’d be fine with it if they wanted to go that route.
No Spring Game...

For me, it's more of a quick little taste after a cold winter to propel me through the summer. Just enjoy the sound of pads thudding and seeing more than just players in shorts playing 7 on 7 or draft prep
Same. If CMC wants a consistent artificial surface than lay some turf this spring/summer! I get that last fall wasn't the norm but man that field was in really bad shape. There's a reason almost all of the northern schools have went away from a grass surface.
Kind of sucks that they are not have the spring game or Veshea anymore. It used to be a great way for alumni to come back to Ames for a day in the spring. I know the spring game really doesn't help the team as much as the extra practice, but it always creates a little buzz to watch the guys that don't get to play a chance to show their stuff.
Sure, but the Spring Game is a lot of fun to attend (when the weather is nice) imo. It's nice to at least get into JTS and have some football or even practice to watch. The off-season is long.
Not to turn this thread into a grass vs artificial surface debate, but a consistent playing surface needs a lot more than just artificial turf.
Exactly. I went to a lot of spring games under past regimes, and if I went 10 years, it was good weather in 6 or 7. The weather might suck, but come on Matt, you just don't like them. Which is fine.
God damn it Matt, you better make it to the Big 12 championship game to make up for that missed tailgate.
If they're not going to do the game anymore, then they should double the amount of spring & summer videos they pump out. That stuff is like heroin to get me through the offseason.
I want to stay with the grass, but we need to modernize it with the field heaters and such.
Agreed. I miss the days of Spring ball and 3-9 records.
No game fine, but they should still have a Spring Tailgate day. Open the lots and let the fans come and tailgate all day. Maybe partner it up with the fan fest... you don't need a game to get a bunch of cyclone fans together!
Indeed. It seemed like they were cranking up quite a festival for last year. I liked where it was going until the weather turned so bad.
I think they should take the spring game on the road. Have it in another part of the state just like TOE does at Valley...
Leave it to Pollard to locate ISU in a state with inclement weather.
