Ohio Stadium aka THE Horseshoe (Official Thread)

Ohio State football just fixed the biggest flaw no one was talking about

Ross Bjork believes that the installation of new turf will help ensure the safety of the Buckeyes moving forward.

"Ohio State football and Nike represent two of the most iconic brands in sports, and this partnership has delivered uniform enhancements that honor our championship traditions while equipping our student-athletes with cutting-edge performance technology. Additionally, the new surface at Ohio Stadium takes this vision further — providing a dynamic playing surface that provides latest advancements in performance and safety and meets NFL standards, and our staff will now be able to, utilize customizable end zones that amplify themed game atmospheres and elevate the experience for fans inside the stadium and watching nationwide."

Ohio State will have customizable end zones​

This new turf gives the Buckeyes the opportunity to have customizable end zones, as well. That means that the endzone color will likely change, depending on which uniforms Ohio State is wearing. That means you could see a black endzone when they break out their black alternate uniforms.

Of course, the biggest issue that fans and players should be worried about is whether or not the turf is safe. Concussions have been a big issue over the last few years, as have non-contact injuries. Reducing those as much as possible is something that Ohio State should be the most interested in.

This is an underrated change that Ohio State is making heading into the season. It's a change that should have a meaningful mark on how the Buckeyes play at home this year. They should have better footing, which has been a clear issue over the last couple of years for receivers and running backs.
Yeah I saw how the endzones will be customizable that will just annoy the grass traditionalists more.
