They ran indoors on the field not outdoors (field hockey astro turf field) from what I've seen of the pictures. It's always been faster indoors at the WHAC than at INDY, everyone knows that!

It was ran on 40 yards. No doubt about that. Just a extremely fast field.

You can make the argument that the combine was ran on AstroTurf also, but there is a difference.

The turf at Indy was indoors and hadn't been given the treatment(Or should I say, beating) that the WHAC had recieved from years in the Ohio weather.

It also still had its padding underneath intact, giving the turf a bounce to it, possibly slowing down runners. The padding under the WHAC AstroTurf was non-existant. It was there at one time, but again was so old, that it basically disappeared/dried away.

That fast track at WHAC was AstroTurf that was atleast 15-20 years old. It was dried up so much it had the hardness of a track. With no cushion or bounce to it. I don't even think the football team uses it anymore, since it would be like playing on concrete.

I do know that the Lacroose(sp?) team practices on that field.

I'm not really surprised they ran outdoors on that field.

Ok, according to the link TheStoicPaisano posted on the 3rd page of this thread, which was a link from NFL.com, about the results of the OSU Pro Day.

Ohio State
There were five head coaches present -- Pittsburgh's Bill Cowher, Chicago's Lovie Smith, Detroit's Rod Marinelli, Cleveland's Romeo Crennel and the Giants' Tom Coughlin -- and about 100 team scouts and representatives. The players ran outdoors on a strip of extremely fast AstroTurf that has been down there for some years.

Plus, the field indoors is not AstroTurf, it is FieldTurf.

pretty sure he was kidding about the track being short, just noticing our fast times

I saw what that guy wrote but I also saw the photos on coach tressel.com and IF the outside field has two BIG white walls I'll believe they ran outside. Don't believe EVERYTHING you read is the old cliche! This guy wasn't even there I bet. From looking at the photos a running lane was set up along the back of the enzone (WEST SIDE) in the WHAC I'm assuming since the construction is going on in the EAST end. Also, a portable bleacher stand was set up for scouts and coaches etc. I wasn't there but I saw the photos. I'll go with the photos on coach tressel.com as being much more reliable than this guys article. Anther example of "shody" journalism on this guys part albeit a VERY minor details to some. The fact that he mentioned Astro Turf would lead you to believe it was outside b/c everyone knows we now have field turf inside the WHAC as stated above (more evidence this guy didn't do his homework). I will post the pics here when I have time...

YEP I'm convinced a second time it was

OUTSIDE! If Rome could be built in one day OSU surely could enclose the Lacrosse Field in one day too! I just might believe the guy who wrote about OSU's Pro Day for NFL.com that the Buckeye Helmet Stickers are GREEN too if he told me so...:p
