Wallace Wade Looking good

[airowe]

Does anyone know what will go around the grass? In the current blue area?

Artificial turf will surround the playing field's natural grass.

Nice! Love how the blue seats look too! Are there any plans to paint the gray bleachers blue or something? The gray on tan background really looks quite crap.

That would be nice, no? Here's a great site for info on what this will all look like when it's done: http://irondukes.visualimmersion.com...de_Stadium.php

More proof that Wally Wade is modernizing with the latest and greatest

As part of a long-term initiative with Ephesus Lighting to upgrade the lighting at Duke University sports and recreation facilities, Wade Wallace Stadium will become the second sports field at Duke to choose the Ephesus Lighting high-performance LED solution.

Looks like they're testing the new scoreboard.

Wally Wade is coming together nicely. Seat installations appear to be complete, lines are on the field, and the goal posts are up. The scoreboard has come to life and looks awesome! I like the digital signage down low on the home side where the band sits. Is it going to be the same way on the other side as well?

I don't need ear plugs -- I just remove my electronic Phonaks.

This may dwarf the complaints which accompanied the new scoreboard in Cameron.

Might not need binoculars in our end zone seats to disagree with all the replay reviews this year .

Is it that close to the goal post or will extra points be smacking the scoreboard (hopefully only by Ross Martin)?

Since when do you watch the replay before disagreeing?

I expect Martin to be able to hit the scoreboard regularly (between the sticks, of course), from 50+ yards when we need him. But hoping for a lot more Sirk to Max/Barnes/Deaver and company TD passes, balanced of course with plenty of Powell/Duncan/Wilson TD jaunts, too.

That, too.

From the plans, the scoreboard is a little over 30 yards behind the back of the end zone.

So Ross will only be able to hit it from the 40 or so.

If Ross hits one from 60+ this year, I'll have a cold one waiting for you at our tent.

I expect he'll have many more chances from the 3 than the 40 this year.

Agree with you totally, but my offer still stands.

A well-informed but anonymous source has informed me you are not a beer drinker so may I humbly change my offer to an iced tea, lemonade or soft drink?

... or maybe a glass of milk

Diet Mountain Dew works fine, thanks.
