New SDSU Football Stadium Site Plan

Re: New SDSU Football Stadium Site Plan

They'll cut those in late since stitching the rolls together may distort the logos. Here's a couple videos.

That makes an absolute ton of sense. Thanks

Sweet! Have got to get over and watch them do that! Thanks for clearing up the mystery.

The web cam picture tonight is showing what looks like an almost completed field, except for the logo of course. I an sure there are numerous more things to be done but it certainly gives a feeling for the end product. Looks very nice.

OK, next turf question(s) ...

Seems like the original stadium project included at least one outdoor turf practice field. Is that still happening? And then there was some discussion that the softball field needed to go to turf, too, because of the massive shadow cast by the indoor facility. Is that true? Was there ever anything to that rumor? Lastly, the rumor was that since we're buying all that turf, we could get a heck of a deal on turf for the baseball field -- at least for the infield. Anything to that?

I don't know about rumors of an outdoor turf practice field, but the other's were not rumors...they reflected actual discussions. And there was a substantial savings on the cost if the turf could have been installed on the softball and baseball fields at the same time as installation was happening of the football field. Only one problem...money. I suspect everybody can understand that problem (after building the practice facility with $32 million of donated funds, building a $65 million football field with $40 million bonded, and basically $25 million of donated funds, not to overlook the need for full cost of attendance, need for higher coaching salaries, etc.) Would have been nice...not going to happen, now anyway.

'Saw the turf today. Exciting. The checkerboard end zones are vibrant. Very attractive. I did notice that the colors are navy blue and what appears to be more gold than yellow. Maybe it was done that way because in time the sun will fade those colors a bit. I walked into Stig's office and looked out on the field. What a great view for prospective student-athletes and their parents. Stig must pinch himself every day he comes to work.

I would guess the colors were mixed according to the official SDSU brand document others have posted here before (I don't have time to look it up at the moment). They may have been mixed a little "brighter" so they look good on TV. Might also be a trick on the eyes due to the field being so green compared to the natural grass color.

I remember thinking the practice facility colors looked off as well when they first got it done, but as you can see from the link below the colors actually match pretty much perfectly.

Will be interesting to see how it looks with players on the field.

Re: New SDSU Football Stadium Site Plan

Universities in general are very specific about colors. The turf company would have submitted samples for approval. If the color doesn't match the approved sample, then the turf company will be remaking it.

Love that we got the giant logo (from 40 yd line to 4 yd line), I always disliked how small the previous one was (45 to 45)

Agreed, here's a nice shot of it from @gojacksSDSU

Re: New SDSU Football Stadium Site Plan

that does look good atleast from the picture. Worried it would look too big. I am usually for more of abalanced or smaller logo, mainly on basketball courts. But this looks good so far.

On a side note, those yard hash marks on the near sideline are horrible. Looks like a drunk college kid painted those on.

Not sure if serious...

I dunno. The east side looks a little bare. Better start building that second deck over there right away!
