PNGFan Posted June 1, 2012 Report Posted June 1, 2012 Did Memorial and BISD use the same turf company?

biaplayer Posted June 1, 2012 Report Posted June 1, 2012 Glad to see the school board do what is neccessary to make sure our boys play on a good surface! Just hope this heavier duty nylon is what it is cracked up to be. I find it hard to believe that after only a handful of years the surface is going to poo poo! To quick if you ask me!.wonder how memorials field is holding up ?
Jackthehammer Posted June 1, 2012 Report Posted June 1, 2012 It is my understanding that PAM, Beaumont ISD, and Lamar football stadiums all have the Hellas turf in place and they are all holding up very well.
The Goat Posted June 1, 2012 Report Posted June 1, 2012 This spring started year number three and the turf at Memorial stadium still looks brand new. the colors are still bright and the stitching is still holding strong!!!!

football Posted June 4, 2012 Report Posted June 4, 2012 Did bmt and pa buy the maintenance machine to sweep and turn over the pellets? I know png did not.
eknights88 Posted June 4, 2012 Report Posted June 4, 2012 the big difference is png uses theirs everyday, while mem and bmt schools do not.
AshlyHasBeen Posted June 4, 2012 Report Posted June 4, 2012 The surface at PN-G looks and feels different than PAM, BISD and Lamar. PAM feels different from all of them even though BISD and Lamar used the same company. Hellas Matrix turf is what you find in Cowboys Stadium and is a much better product in my opinion than FieldTurf. Lamar University practices on theirs all the time so it really doesn't have much do with overuse. There are a batch of bad fields that were built around the same time that are failing. FieldTurf is blaming the nylon fiber company and of course the schools are blaming FieldTurf. Better to move on to a better product and let the lawyers figure it out.
GoDogs27 Posted June 5, 2012 Report Posted June 5, 2012 The "turf" at Nederland is holding up quite well. A little rain every now and then and we are set. The way football should be played. ;)

Razor Posted June 7, 2012 Report Posted June 7, 2012 And yet, you still can't seem to have much success against us. ;)

Twelve consecutive district titles says it all.Athletically? I believe we have overall winning records against Nederland in every sport except boys' and girls' basketball, track and possibly boys' soccer (it'd be very close either way). I know we have winning records in football, volleyball and softball and our boys' golf team (which made it to state this year) has been unmatched for several seasons. Baseball is admittedly a question mark after the last few seasons but I believe the record does favor PN-G overall. In the performing arts? Our choir has nine consecutive "Outstanding" ratings at the state competition in San Antonio to its name and our band has been to the state marching competiton numerous times while Nederland's has yet to go once.And I know you're not talking about fan bases. ;)
