It’s funny there was a major fit thrown by fans when we went from the pinwheel to the current logo but I actually like the current one the most

RE: Georgia Southern new field turf
Paulson seating capacity is on the lower end of the conference but it looks smaller than it is.
It has a golf course feel with attention to green landscaping and tree cover within the stadium along the concourse.
It's different but you'll enjoy the atmosphere. It's open and lends itself to those who enjoy walking around socializing and taking in the view.
Despite our rivals opinion it's a welcoming atmosphere with visiting fans in all venues and seating areas mingling and enjoying the banter.
It's hard to feel hemmed in anywhere.

We painted the CUSA logo on our last field at the beginning of each year and touched it up as the year went along. In 2021, knowing that the move to SBC was about to become reality, we chose not to repaint the CUSA logo, so it faded nearly out of sight as that year wore on. It was a perfect touch.
Gotcha covered, via Black & Gold Review.
It was the greatest veiled messaging ever.

Better late than never? Not sure what this means.
We put the previous turf in summer of 2016, so it wasn't all that old. Looks like we went with FieldTurf this time though so it will hopefully last a bit longer than the previous one did.
I am one of the few who wish we would go back to grass, but if we're gonna do turf I want it to look good. This version looks a lot better than the last one.

It's not as bad as it seems. This wasn't the top row, maybe 4-5 rows from the top. 2018 vs Ark St.

The delays the OP is referring to deal with the new Pratice facility and stadium lot. It's still a mess and have a month to get it all ready for tailgating. The turf was installed quickly and the stadium itself is ready for the season.

Ah ok, fair enough.
And as was already said, the turf in the stadium wasn't really ever delayed. The parking lot/practice facility though....our AD better be praying cause his strategy of hope may come crashing down like it did last year.

I should have read the thread title a little better because I just assumed it was about the turf and practice facility. Again, it’s gonna look great! I’m ashamed I’ve never been.
