Either way, that's probably why they haven't released 'finished' pictures, yet.
I doubt it...BUT this years dues are due this month.

They spray paint the conference logo closer to season kick-off because they don't want it to be worn out before the season begins.

I was in DeKalb on Saturday and checked out the field. It looks really sharp. The state and the alternating shades of green are subtle. Absolutely love the end zones. They really pop. The MAC logos were painted/sewn on.

I don't think they spray paint anymore on these surfaces. These inserts sewn in. I remember how hard the painted sections were on astro turf.

Athletics said the MAC logo would be painted on. You can also see the field with all the patches installed when they were doing the rubber fill THEN they painted on the MAC logos.

So we still don't get to play on a level playing field.
