2024 Preseason Camp Thread

[Sdot]

Haven't they been practicing on grass mostly?

Yes but they practice indoor training facility is turf and they scrimmage in dome which is also turf

 

[CA Monk]

I bet it's Conley.

I bet it's Conley.

Adam Boeheim.

Upper nostril injury.

 

[CbusCuse]

Not gonna speculate on this but at what point as a university do we agree we’ve had to many injury’s on turf so we should look into grass in the dome.

Sounds like speculation to me. We've been pretty good injury wise so far this pre season. Every team gets injuries and we don't even know what the injury is yet. No need to bring that topic back up at this point.

I'm no botanist or anything, but how would that work exactly?

No clue but Arizona cardinals and Las Vegas raiders play indoor stadium and both have grass fields

How could you?

With a basketball court over it, it wouldn't. They'd probably have to reinstall it every year... and forget about switching it from one to the other during early basketball season.

Logistically, it would be very difficult to do this in the multi-use dome.

They also have track systems that let the grass roll in and out...and better weather for growing grass all year round.

NFL money -- this is not feasible in anyway for SU to do this

 

[JRHEETER]

Let me know where you’re going to put the track to roll the field in and out like those stadiums?

It’s simply not a feasible option at Syracuse.

Unfortunately we are stuck with turf

 

[upperdeck]

so we just jack the dome up 5-6 ft and we are good to go

 

[JRHEETER]

Yeah, relatively simple process!!

Like, brown dead grass?

 

[sufandu]

They also are pro teams with enormously bigger budgets and billion dollar stadiums.

 

[richmondcuse03]

hah right - i think more realistically we convert to the newer type of turf when the field needs to be replaced. Think thats a few years from now.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

This is a hybrid. This is a cross of Kentucky Bluegrass, Featherbed Bent, and Northern California Sensemilia. The amazing stuff about this is, that you can play 60 minutes of football on it in the afternoon, take it home and just get stoned to the bejeezus-belt that night on this stuff.

 

[AAM62]

Yeah some here are jumping out of the window based on board speculation. It’s probably right, but wait on some info first.

 

[FrancoPizza]

Is this you by any chance?

 

[CbusCuse]

How could you?

Oh there was a lot of knocking of wood going on while typing that up.

[Orijinal]

Why do we suddenly need grass turf? Syracuse used to play on astro turf and everyone got knee injuries, yet somehow they were still able to field a team and won games

Syracuse upgraded about 15 years ago to field turf. Apparently that cut down on a lot of injuries. Now we need natural grass? Come on. It's football.

Injuries are going to happen if Fran Brown wants to make practice as tough as possible. Maybe as a rookie coach he will need to learn lessons on how to get his players through the off-season.

But maybe these reports about another injury are nothing at all. Or maybe it's an injury that would've happened regardless of the intensity of practice or the nature of the field. Who knows?

 

[All4SU]

If the player was injured this week, it happened on the grass practice field, right?

 

[OburgOrange]

 

[GoSU96]

The fact that it’s so hush hush we can probably guess it’s a guy like Diggs or Clark or Allen

Ok Kreskin.
