RS Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 quote:Originally posted by Vic Agree Richard. Never seen a reference to the Stadium without football markings and would rather watch lower level without lines. I'd rather watch all levels without (football) lines! quote:Wouldn't go watch football on a soccer field either. I take it you're not a fan of the CFL, then?

Calgary Boomer Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 The paint and equipment used make it way easier to take gridiron lines off these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That remains an open question. As far as I'm concerned, the upcoming ground-share between the BC Lions and the Vancouver Whitecaps will be an important test-case.

brettinhalifax Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Isn't the question closed? Qwest Field looks pretty good for Sounders games. So it is possible to remove the football gridiron from a field, and have the same turf look like a proper soccer pitch. The only variable is the willingness of the owner to pay for the service. Kraft in NE doesn't do it. I'm sure Kerfoot will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 The Whitecaps have stated categorically more than once that there will be NO football lines at BC Place for MLS Vancouver matches. This was one of their pre-conditions for signing on to the project. There is no doubt on this one despite the skeptics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piltdownman Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 The Victoria Highlanders in the PDL have a line cleaning machine. Admittedly they only have the lines and no massive advertising and end zone graphics. Still if they can do it, and as already mentioned the Sounders do it, there is no reason why everyone else shouldn't as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to facilitate that, they won't be loading up the endzones and sidelines with extra paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
