obcowboy Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Anyone ever played there or seen a game there? My brother said the field sucked. Now that suprised me considering it's in Katy and they got that big money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titletown2 Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 I was there on the sidelines when WOS lost to Wimberly and that was the worst field turf I've seen. It was worn and not soft, like say Moorehead Stadium in Conroe. However, the rest of the stadium is very nice. Maybe they've replaced that truf.

BMTSoulja1 Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 A lot of teams use the artificial grassy turf. I see that Rhodes stadium uses that old Astro Turf. It hear it's like playing on cement with a thin carpet over it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmac Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 It is the old style Astro turf and it is glued to cement. The good news is that it is extremely fast to run on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrUmp1 Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Katy does have field turf not the old astro turf. That stuff was taken out a few years ago. I've seen quite a few games there over the years and been on the field,( not playing but walking) and I have never heard a complaint from coaches or players.

CSI-Texas Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Rhodes stadium is just as good as any other stadium. Same playing surface as Moorehead, Dayton, Crosby, etc. It is a very nice stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
