I'm not sure what wore it out so quickly at Mitchell I guess they play 10+ high school games, 6 college games plus a season of college practices, little league, middle school and JV games, the concerts couldn't have helped any either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stu_bean 1,058 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 Ok serious question for a moment. We all know that a snow plow or blade is a bad idea on turf...what would be the best way for removal when the need arises again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess snowblowers could work, maybe. That's actually a really good question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixcat 2,919 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 I saw several snow/leaf blowers being used at Salem during the D3 National Championship game once. Been several years ago but I would assume that would/should be commonplace. Seems like they were only concentrating on the 5 and 10 yard lines though. Not the entire field I also recall some controversy over the use of some form of "ice melt" chemical compound that led to several players receiving severe skin irritations requiring medical treatment. I don't believe that took place in Salem though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most places if they know they are expecting a lot of snow will tarp it and shovel off from there. Deleted Account 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That ain't f***ing fair!!!!!" I got the "its only a game" speech afterwards. Don't guess she realized I had picked the Dolphins on a parlay card that weekend...it was more than just a game, I had money riding on that game... mv91, Bluefield researcher, Bigrhsfan and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
