RootforRoo44 Posted June 10, 2008 Report Posted June 10, 2008 ...does anyone know the type of wood that the JAR has for it's floor? I am creating the god of all beer pong tables and im gonna go all out and i want to make it a recreation of the Zips home floor. I just would like to know what i could compare that could be close enough or even get the exact same if possible. I'm hoping i can pull this off, hopefully someone out there has the answer to my question. Oh yeah and dont worry I will post pics of the progress and finished table. (and im sure youll see it at the Rubber Bowl this fall as well) Quote

Blue & Gold Posted June 10, 2008 Report Posted June 10, 2008 I believe Zipmeister is correct. I've heard all hardwood floors are maple. But I wouldn't know what color of stain they used. Probably just a "Natural" stain. Quote

I have in my possession a piece of the first artificial surface ever installed at the RB. I knew one of the workers who was installing the surface and he and all the other installers helped themselves to large quantities of the material. Wonder how much of that behavior will occur at the new stadium? I use my piece to cover a shelf in my office, but it would make a neat game surface. Quote

Plus it would discourage bouncing and that's always good in my book. Quote

When they re-turfed the practice field a couple of years ago, we took (stole?) the old stuff and had wall-to-wall turf in our basement for a year. I'll see if I can find any of the pictures and post them. The beer pong table wasn't real elaborate. Just painted green with white tape for yard lines and blue painted endzones. Quote
