Facilities does not work for Athletics and neither does the College of Agriculture. I suspect Athletics found a willing donor or had saved enough money to make a deal to do what we saw. Lack of synergy is no excuse for the poor results of the past. Silos are killing our effectiveness as a school in many areas. I hope the new chancellor sees this.

I actually feel bad for Mr Sharpe. Cause we have 2 November games and if that grass goes brown , the naysayers will return And if it doesn’t go brown… He probably sees it as one HELL of an opportunity, as he should. My question is does he get a free panel on the Jumbotron and free advertising on radio broadcasts in exchange. I definitely would’ve worked that into the contract.

I actually feel bad for Mr Sharpe. Cause we have 2 November games and if that grass goes brown , the naysayers will return if the grass goes brown in november, of course "we" (i'm one of the naysayers) will return cuz that'll mean that the job has not been "completed". the theory behind field turf is that it "stays green" year round. our "standard" for keeping our grass surface green should be the same as the vast majority of all d1 natural grass fields such as duke or elon. if they can keep their grass green in november, then so should we...

How long has Mr. Sharpe been under contract? Last season the field looked great at the “end” of the season. I think it’s safe to say that improvement wasn’t by accident! I expect the field to look great all season!

I expect the field to look great all season! imo, the grass looked "ok" at the end of last season but it didn't look nowhere near as nice as it looked for the spring game recently played. i've been following aggie football for a very long time, even before aggie stadium was built. and i have "NEVER, EVER" seen our grass look as good as it looked at this year's spring game. we've never had that very "rich, dark" green looking grass that we saw at the spring game. we've had green grass before, but not nearly as "rich and dark" as this spring. now i'm "spoiled" and wanna see it that way all the time, or close to it...

Nah, I don't think it's sad at all. There are plenty of "Ag" schools that have artificial turf. The costs in time and resources associated with up keep of all the playing surfaces is a lot...especially if you want to do it right. It's my hope like a lot of things "athletics" at NCA&T I hope we get a lot of bang for out buck when it come to the look and quality of our playing fields. I found this on YouTube...from 9 years ago. We are no where near this when it come to our playing or practice fields...and budget wise we shouldn't be. That said, looks like we are finally acknowledging that what was is not good enough anymore. NC State Carter-Finley Stadium Grounds Crew
