mrb 26 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 I can't believe that Richlands had a chance to get field turf and it was turned down. Why would you not want it. Are am I not hearing all the facts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesfans 10 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 It wasn't turf it was new sod. A turf field would cost in excess of $250,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigD4VT 11 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 New sod wouldn't be cheap either. I would love to have either but you have to be able to pay for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveMann 10 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 There were hoping to get some assistance from a local business not sure if I should mention the name, but I think the funding just wasn't there. Hey we are getting new lights,, we have lived with the field this long, and to be honest what is in need to most is a dressing room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigD4VT 11 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 Any idea how much power the new lights will have compared to the old ones? Without flash I could only get a shutter speed of 1/60 of a second @ f/2.8 and iso 1600. I'm hoping to get that to 1/250 which will mean brighter, sharper and less grainy pictures without flash.

DaveMann 10 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 The lights will be very much like Tazewell's or at least that is my understanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigD4VT 11 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 I haven't shot there at night so I don't know if that will get me to 1/250 but I have noticed news video from there looks a lot brighter than Richlands. Â By the way, 1/250 is what I get in the Middle School gym, so that's all I'm asking for. Just make them as bright as the gym. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluenecknation 17 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 i to have heard the turf was a done deal. with the lightning r in the center of the field & blues in each endzone. if the school board rejects this its a damn shame. from sources close to the program it's not costing the school board no money. so what can their excuse be this time!
