tightendoverthemiddle 102 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Mentioned this to my son. Looks like fungus or mole crickets.. either way will probably have to be dug up and replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autigeremt 6,775 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I've been on the field three times in the last couple of weeks. Looks fine in person. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That really is weird then. The fields on the other game broadcasts didn’t look like ours and apparently it’s not just my tv that may be screwed up. I totally believe you, it’s just odd.

Ryan Sanders 123 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Looks like fungus issues to be honest.. if so.. should be fixed and ready for next home game. It doesn't look that bad really.. but IMO does resemble fungus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wareagle7298 126 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I noticed it more on the Akron game. The whole tint of the screen didn't look correct. Go look at the ESPN highlights for that game, it looks terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMassie11 1,610 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Turf looked fine in person. Weather this year has been extremely odd though. I live north of Atl and am in the landscape industry here and I will say all the bermudas are in their last leg for the year already. Extremely early for that to be happening.

constructiontiger 32 Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 It's looked good from my seats in Section 56. I think the TV cameras are messing it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU_Canoe 236 Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I thought the ESPN stream on Saturday looked like the old Raytheon Sports footage of games from back in the day. The grass and all the field colors looked washed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said same thing to my wife watching the game on tv. Field looked brown like it was winter and they forgot to paint it. I get it looked fine at the game but ESPN screwed something up on the camera views. maybe they use crappy equipment for 11 o’clock games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbo 7,968 Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 This was one of the worst broadcasts I've seen in a while. They had a shot of some kid in the press box with the caption "Mike Bobo, Auburn Offensive Coordinator." They kept saying Hunter dropped that pass that Newton dropped. Numerous other mistakes. Camera made the field look much worse than it is. But the kicker was going to commercial break and missing almost an entire AU defensive series. With all the money involved and technology available, it's pretty inexcusable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meh130 1,054 Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 (edited) I wonder if part of it are the new lights, especially for the Akron game. The field looked fine in person. A little different texture than I remember, and it looked dry, almost like artificial turf, which could be a different grass blend this year. EDIT: I went back an looked at the ESPN video, and I see what the comments are about. I still think it has something to do with the grass blend this year.

And those at the game, already said the grass looked fine seeing it in person. It definitely had to do with the video broadcast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the broadcast, it looked washed out color-wise and I was thinking it was a timing issue with the winter rye. The Bermudagrass in my yard has never struggled as much as this year.
