Darn, I was hoping for a candy striped end zone.

With the Indiana script

Certainly a missed opportunity IMHO.

If they're gonna copy the Assembly Hall floor, just paint the turf to look like hardwood.

Just dawned on me why a candy striped endzone could probably never happen. You can't have anything white (or cream) bordering the goal line, end line or sideline. I guess you would have to use a buffer color around the edges, but then it really wouldn't be "candy stripe".

Maybe something like Tennessee does.

Yeah, that looks like the way to go. Personally I don't like aesthetics of the endzone pattern/fill color not filling out the entire endzone. 

So I guess I'd prefer to have it the way it is (or will be shortly) rather than a candy striped endzone in the "Tennessee design"

Yeah that was a good point about the candy stripes...it would look odd compressed like that. I do like the script, but it looks good on the windows (and hopefully on the SEZ windows too) so I'm fine with the new font. It looks classy but not too plain, and really as long as the field is thicker and brighter it's all good.

Looks great! We desperately needed it. The old turf looked terrible on our nationally televised games against OSU and Michigan.

On a side note I cannot wait for the south end enclosure. I'm always amazed how gorgeous the north end looks, tying in the south end will make the stadium look very nice.

The new turf looks sharp! Hopefully IU racks up a lot of wins on it. Agreed with the poster above that the SEZ project will make the stadium look even better.

Love the "Indiana" script.

Is there a technology guru out there who is able to post side-by-side pics of the new field and the old field?  Thanks.

Hopefully they are able to keep that white as crisp as it is!
