Dartmouth adds Field Turf

Thought you might be interested in this image of Dartmouth's new Field Turf. UMass and Dartmouth had a long running series. They played 24 times from 1908-1981. The Big Green has a commanding 20-3-1 lead in wins. I know for a fact that in the past UMass has inquired about renewing the series. Back then, the Ivy teams recruited nationally and had more scholarships than the land grant Yankee Conference teams. The shoe is now on the other foot and the Ivy teams keep to themselves. Although kudos to Dartmouth and Brown to continuing to play UNH and Rhode Island.

There is an image gallery of Dartmouth's field here . There is a Dartmouth Blog here, but it's a gateway to a pay-to-read site...
