If you think Boise State's turf looks strange ...

[mpcincal]

... wait'll you get a load of what Eastern Washington is planning:

[Petrie]

I absolutely love it. Bodie may disagree with me... The field itself probably won't get much exposure, though, seeing as Eastern is an FCS school.

 

[Buck]

That is a terrible idea, but still not as offensive to the eyes as the smurf turf.

 

[JackReacher]

Love it.

 

[Den1983]

I like it. It's a hell of a lot better than the blue.

 

[Buck]

It's still ridiculous, but the blue is just too bright it hurts the eyes.
At least that red is a bit more muted.

So, does this mean they're always in the red zone?

Hey, hey!

Most impressive part - Michael Roos putting up $500,000 to fund.

 

[Det. Jimmy McNulty]

Michael Roos needs his balls removed for dropping $500k on red turf. How disgraceful.

 

[Gutter]

Loves it.

Hey, hey!

Well played.

I'm guessing the "red zone" will become the "green zone" here.

I'm holding out for black turf ... cuz ... cuz ... black will make us look more intimidating!

 

[Beef03]

So when the turf is sitting there for the next 15-20 years in all the elements will it fade and turn pink?

I think it looks cool in a little artists rendition of a picture, but that the idea is a lot cooler than what it will be when it is installed. Could be a total eyesore.

 

[Chef2]

Love it.

There is a local high school out here that is converting to turf, and one more that needs to severely. Just thinking about black turf for the school that needs it;

Their primary colors are orange and black; Black turf, white numbers, orange end zones; That would look slick.

Not if the sun was out, it wouldn't.

Dr. J wants Syracuse to go Orange. So to speak.

Wonder how many fumbles will lay around uncovered because folks won't be able to see the football on the field.

If that were the case, how many coaches would be trying to get their teams clad in red uniforms? And notice that no one is trying to clone uniforms from the Cleveland Browns, University of Wyoming or Bowling Green.
