My first game on the road was also FIU. It was Dan McCarney's first game and we had Lance Dunbar versus their TY Hilton. I thought the rain would negate their passing game but it certainly didn't and he scorched us. Some little chudd came up to me at halftime and asked if we were really that bad and I told him to get the f out of my face before he catches a smack. Never shit talk opposing fans who especially travel that far to watch a beatdown. Enjoy your trip and bring back that W!
I was at that game too. Chancellor made an outstanding catch, barely getting his toes inbounds. Play made the Sports Center top 10.

An artificial turf field should pop with color and crispness.
Ours used to, but now looks awful. How old is it?
That pic is from before the pellets were applied (as well as before the corner scoreboard, before Spiriki, etc.). Plus, the field has been completely redone since then (removing the thick black boarder and adding the building champions or whatever it says).

That had to be later in the game but yeah they had over 500 IMO
Here is a version of the same pic where you can see the scoreboard. If you zoom in you’ll see it was taken a couple minutes into the first quarter. Maybe they had some late arrivals.

Are you sure they didn't paint over the horizontal CUSA logos and then paint the AAC "A" over it? I've seen them paint the field before, I assume they have some mechanism to rake the pellets loose after.
They should have painted the DATCU logos over the horizontal CUSA logos (similar shape and size) and put the AAC A on the left side (if you're sitting on the home shade side.
The DATCU logo replaced where UNT used to be on the field and the DATCU naming rights didn’t come around until after they’d already started replacing CUSA with the A on the turf.

There were quite a few Cal fans in the Hub Club. Actually, in the section of the club level I was in, there may have been more Cal fans that UNT fans.

Yes. I was at the kickoff event when they had the new turf sitting on top of the old. Notice how much more the white popped before adding the pellets.

Did they re-pellet the field before this game or something? Off the top of my head I think there are different types of turf with some more expensive options. I'd have to look it up though.
They redid the center logo and added the DATCU logos and American logos, all of which required cutting out turf and adding new turf. They would have re-pelleted after that.

There's not really much else I can say about the game that hasn't already been said, but is it just me or is our gameday presentation as bad as how we played yesterday?
Why did our field make the white numbers/letters/logos look muddy/dirty? Our shade of green turf looks very drab on TV.
Compare that to how crisp and clean Tulane's field looked.
Also what is with those patches behind the American logo? Did we just cut out the CUSA one?
Outside of the visuals there is just a very casual unfocused air around UNT games. The band didn't play on 3rd downs, or played after a Cal 1st down. The stadium announcer is very bland. It's like we don't know what to do.
The look you speak of is caused by the little black rubber pellets that are rubbed into the turf as part of the type of artificial turf used at DATCU. I noticed the same at Tulane. Not sure if they use a different kind of turf or what.

The information stations were a nice add, though not manned when I walked by.
