Have they started putting in the new field turf yet? I'm told that if this isn't done before the ground freezes we'll be playing a few games at the stadium next year. |

I don't know anything about turf but I can't see how that would be. By late June there would be absolutely not frozen ground to worry about.... |

As if we needed further proof the Blue Bombers are run by idiots, a reminder:
They said it would be ready in June 2012. Then July. Then September.
Just a reminder! *dashes off*

Despite the weather right now, there is still time for the turf to be laid and if not it will be in April, long before training camp/ |

The ground can't be frozen when the turf is laid.

The ground can't be frozen when the turf is laid. Yes but how long could it possibly take to lay the turf? The ground isn't frozen yet and I'm not expert but I would say certainly by mid June it must be good to go. |

The sand base for drainage is already there, It took only a few days to lay the same type of turf and Canad stadium. Unless we enter a new ice age there is no worry about the field being ready long before training camp.

Just a reminder! *dashes off* At least the Bombers are getting a new stadium. And it will be ready for next season. You will eat your words and you will like it. |
