MBA's Field

[BankofDad]

I have heard that MBA's stadium field is not a regulation size field.

Is that true?

If true what is the difference?

Do any of the visiting players thinks it affects their play or is it a non-event?

 

Not trying to start something, just curious.

I had not heard that. It's a full football field plus room at both ends. I'm pretty sure it's the same size as the grass field that was there before the turf. I've played on it and never noticed it feeling small. I love the turfgrass though.

Thanks, did not sound correct, but you never know.

 

The field turf is great!

i prefer real grass anyday to the fake stuff at MBA. the rubber pellets get down in your shoes and it shreds skin like none other when you slide or fall on it. it seems regulation size though.

MBA's field is regulation for lacrosse as far as length (110yds), but it is not regulation width for lacrosse which is 60 yds. or 180 ft. They play the football sidelines which are 160 ft (approx 53.33 yds). Most fields that have both will play out to the 60 yd. width despite the confusion of multiple lines. But, it is not really possible at MBA b/c of the high jump pit on the sideline.

i too like real grass, but you have to realize why MBA decided to get the turf. Now, multiple teams a week can play on the field and not have to worry about tearing it up. As for the fact that it hurts you to fall on it...maybe you should go play against harpeth hall or something...
