How is the new facility? I hear that it was an overflow crowd...is anyone else thinking it would have been nice if they'd made the place larger (say 8-10k)? I feel like Gtown went from having an embarrassing stadium to a nice high school-sized field. Comments?

well, the current stands are only temporary so they only fit a combined 2,500. The real stands will add 1,000 on each side which will create a combined capacity of 4,500.
I wish we were getting a 10,000 seat stadium that we could legitimately fill though, that would be awesome.
Also, the non students need to get off their asses and make some noise.

I just hope the new stands have real seats and not these preschool ones.

I was working at the game, and I must say the field itself is great. Soft, nice bounce...just too many of those annoying black rubber pellets in my shoes afterward.

After the field get's used more I'm pretty sure those will be more compacted and won't go flying around all the time. How long has the Georgia Dome been in use? Everytime someone made a cut last Monday night, I could see the pellets spraying out. I don't think they're meant to get compacted...otherwise, what purpose would they have?

I know that they talked a lot about the field getting compacted/worn in a lot when they switched to the new kind of turf at the Metrodome. I thought they were talking about the pellets (I've never noticed the stuff spray out at Twins games, for example), but maybe they meant something else.
