A New Football Field For the LaPorte Slicers

Yesterday I was in my hometown of LaPorte, Indiana for the day. During the course of the day I was able to get a tour of the new football field that the LaPorte Slicers are putting down. This is an exciting time for LaPorte High School Football. The stadium really looks refreshed on the inside. I have only seen the finished result when it comes to field turf so I was very excited to see the process up close and personal. It really is a meticulous process, but these guys have it down. I believe that this is only day three of the installation of the actual turf, and they are moving right along. I never knew that the numbers and logos were sewn into the field. Seeing the process really gives me a new outlook on turf. With the talk of Purdue looking into field turf I would be excited to try a time lapse of the process. As a big kid who has grown up knowing the orange and black it was awesome to see the colors pop off of this field. I will try very hard to get back on August 29th to see the first game on the new field. I think that would make for a great Exposure page.
