Zable’s New Field Complete
 |
As I previously mentioned here the college upgrade of the field at Zable Stadium was completed on July 11. Below are links to the gallery of pictures of the field and the new goal posts. The athletics department also enhanced the seating chart for the stadium they released earlier this year and added the Zable Stadium Seating View Map where you can click in the general area of your seats and see your view of the field for even more picture goodness. Football facility enhancements continue as the ground breaking ceremony for the Jimmye Laycock Football Center which will be located right behind the stadium took place September 15. Here are twopages from the Maine vs. William & Mary program with a recap of all the facility upgrade details. |

No feathers? Bah

Sure beats watching Golden Gopher games in the Metrodome.
I think I’ll stand outside before games and sell big-ass feathers at a huge profit.

The TribeAthletics.com article about the lights has good image of the field before the turf (even though you have seen it a few times anyway), but I guess we never had the feathers on the field and they didnt see the point in changing it. Besides how dark the turf is, the field is “painted” much the same. While image hunting, I found a couple of Williamsburg Postcard images of the field from 1936 and early 2000. I kind of like the traditional no frills grid-iron look they maintained without all the clutter some other I-A and pro fields have, though I wouldn’t have minded feather flags flying all around the top of the stadium.
That would be an interesting business venture, Tommy. There are a good number of season ticket holders that wear head bands with green and yellow feathers or have them somewhere on their person at the games.
