Other than the expense and extravagance of such a project for what is basically a game played by children, I already linked to a number sources detailing the cons on field turf.  Please read them and educate yourself.

 

I am PLENTY educated on the subject. I simply do not care. 

I wanted to know who was getting turf and who was thinking about it in the other thread that I started. I have an excel spreadsheet dedicated just to that. I am very curious about the subject. 41% of the state had turf last year. I do not care about your crusade to complain about where tax dollars should be allocated. To be fair... I wouldn't care where anyone wanted tax dollars. 

The Pros and Cons can be discussed here.

There was already a "spot to be heard" , but thanks for thinking about me, Chief.

 

Sorry.. an appropriate one. The other thread wasn't meant for that. This one is, simple. 

Tell us why turf is so awful here. 

Turf 20/21

Madison, Jeff, Charlestown (kind of funny they're all in like the same area), Columbia City, FW Carroll

Schools discussing it

West Washington... anyone else?

This shouldn't take long.  There are no major Cons to turf.

AGREE.. but at least he has a spot to be heard now.

btownqbcoach is just whining with the creation of this thread.

 

Noooo... not whining at all. Just giving you a spot to state your opinions, an appropriate place. 

@Muda69

Here talk about it here. Simple enough.

Yes, I did give obvious facts.  Sorry you don't recognize them.

If you don't want to read me posts you have a couple of options:  a.  Put me on ignore, or b. contact the GID administration and file a complaint.  Your call.

 

Just bull crap you hi jack this stuff.

I gave out obvious facts.  Sorry that you don't yet have your dream of every government high school in the state, and by extension the taxpayers, paying for the extravagance of field turf.

 

Now you're putting words in my mouth, awesome man. You gave no facts. 

But yet, you aren't ruining the thread. Riiiiiiiight. Again... go away, start your own thread, you aren't wanted in this one.

As with yours.

 

I just want facts. You want to start a discussion on turf vs. grass... or turf and who should get it and who should pay for it. Yoda yoda, go do it in another thread. 

I want to know... who is getting turf in 2020 and beyond, other than that, I really do not care.

I'm not.

 

In your opinion

Nice to see a community of taxpayers who realize the limits and place of government school corporations, and have an actual desire to be fiscally responsible.

 

Please don't try and ruin this topic.

Well it appears that the entire South Dearborn community is against turf, or spending money on improvements in general. Which is a shame because the administration sees the need, but is handcuffed... and shackled at the feet too. 

Interesting

Anyone know of a school that is absolutely opposed to field turf?  I've been told that Bremen has no interest.  Football patriarch Don Bunge laid the seeds on the field and it will always be grass.

I'd really like to steer clear of the turf vs. grass discussion here. I appreciate your post though.

WW recently had a open meeting about it, but haven't heard anything else. 

It is even more beneficial for smaller schools (in smaller areas) than it would be for a school in Indy to have turf. What I mean by that... My gf is an AT at Noblesville (obviously a huge school) but this applies for a school like Sheridan, as well. When their softball field is too wet, they can go and still have a turf practice just indoors at Finch Creek or Grand Park. Where we are at we don't really have that kind of an opportunity, thus making the turf football field that much more valuable. 

I bet if you and Salem both went in on turf there would be some sort of a discount. 

I know BNL is looking into doing the football field, softball, and baseball.

It’s a bigger stadium in person. This is a pretty far away shot. The visitors section is the far left side of the stands. It’s a nice facility with a really nice press box, bathrooms, concessions, and all of that. Maybe when they become a little more relevant in the playoffs, we’ll have the need for opposing stands.

It just doesn't feel like a stadium to me with no away bleachers. Everything you mentioned you're absolutely correct, the home stands are very big, press box is extremely nice. Idk.. just need some away bleachers. The HHC just doesn't travel well though. Unfortunate. 

Anyone have an update here? 

New schools with turf this coming year, as of now: Madison, Jeffersonville, Charlestown all 2020. For 2021- Columbia City and FW Carroll

At New Albany ... I get it.  At Jeff, maybe a little, but how does Floyd central not have a visitors seating section?

Nope

The MIC is a different animal.   It was founded solely on the premise that it bring together central Indiana's top programs to form the best high school football conference in the Midwest

It is barely the top conference in the state at this time due to traditional bottom laggards LC, LN and PK. NC has risen mightily in the past few years 

 

Just stop. One year the HCC was comparable and it was STILL an all MIC final. The MIC is still by far the king. I have no affiliation to these conferences, but to diminish how good this conference is at all is silly.

The NWI Oilmen also play there. They are a member of the Midwest Collegiate League, which is a summer wood bat league.

Appreciate it. I know nothing about most of northern Indiana, especially the Region. 

I am headed to Chicago in April for the weekend when IU plays @NW.

Here's a  great view of Whiting's fantastic baseball stadium in the foreground, football stadium in the middle, and the Chicago skyline in the background.

Wow.. I knew how close the football field was to Lake Michigan, but that baseball stadium is impressive. Is it only used for HS games? Or?

I was making an objective analysis.  Yours is clearly based on your dislike of Dwenger.  It doesn’t matter to me at all if you don’t attend or even like Bishop Dwenger’s new stadium.  It’s your loss and something tells me you wouldn’t like it even if a personal suite was built especially for you . 
 

He said it was nice?

I used to love working at places that are literally in the middle of a cornfield. There are several places like that in the northern half of the state. Perhaps even more in the southern? 

West Washington absolutely is

I've see it also, looks pretty good.  TC's from I-65 is not near as good in my humble opinion.

TC?

Carmel so nice. Watched one game there. 

Merrillville driving past it, incredible. Haven't been to a game there.

Reitz bowl big time. Watched one game there. 

I would bet we have as good of a gameday atmosphere as anyone, especially the bigger games. Behind our visitors bleachers is Elm St... there used to be trailers, RVs, buses, etc. that was parked there 365 days a year.... the town has since not allowed that, but on gameday there are people out there by 430pm (330-4pm for the big games)... the cool feature about Elm St is that it is elevated, so the whole street has a great view of the game. 

We will have a couple hundred fans (more for Seymour and playoffs) that completely encompass the opposing team and their fans. It's a great stadium and atmosphere and something that I believe if you are fan of IN HS football you should witness one time, for a great matchup. 

We are 139-18 at home under Coach May. 89% winning percentage.

Congrats to Mr. Tanona!  Luckily, the Vols aren't in the West division...

Traditionally ... UT, UF, and UGA have matched Auburn, LSU, and Bama. Traditionally.
