Can anyone confirm if this has started yet? I also heard the design has been kept a secret and will have some interesting character?   I'm anxious to see the final product.

Hope construction can be done by December, but I think that's a dream.

We are OHIO...that should be shouted from the rooftops. The cat head made it look a bit high-schoolish, IMO.

I think one day, maybe 30-40 years now the Attack Cat will be such a recognizable image that it won't be necessary to spell out Ohio behind it, but until then I agree it looks better with it.  I wonder if they'll change the end zones.

Architect had people here last week doing flush testing to see how well the existng base drains. There will be an arched OHIO logo fronted by the Attack Cat at midfield and dark green endzones with the large OHIO in each. Also the white boundary line that encompasses the field will have a dark green highlight outside of it.  Once the trustees approve the MPF expect construction to start there shortly after. Facility could be ready to use for December bowl practice at the earliest. Isn't it great that we have become accustomed to having things such as bowl practice and Pro Day? This past December snow had to be removed for the last 2 bowl practices and Pro Day was held a couple of weeks ago in 40 degree weather and a 25 mile per hour wind.     Back to Top perimeterpost General User Member Since: 7/6/2010 Post Count: 3,165 Status: Offline     RE: New Field, Hopefully No Longer Hardest In MAC    Posted: 4/18/2013 7:24:12 PM  I read that the NCAA requires the center field logo to not go over the hash marks. The current Attack Cat w/o OHIO logo is already that large so that means the new logo will have a smaller Cat to fit the lettering behind it. I'm a little concerned now about how that is going to look, I hope it doesn't look too small or busy. MY STATE. MY TEAM.

The flush test is a normal practice everytime you replace the artificial surface. Once the old turf is gone they will also check the base level and adjust the grade as needed.

Given the injury situation, can anything be done about the "hardest field in the MAC" or was that all BS? "Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men."
