    General consensus of this school is that people only go here because
    A) they want to still play sports
    B) they are an international student and this is where the government let them go
    C) they want to stay close to home but live in a dorm

    A nightmare of mine is teams going the way of Oregon and how they change uni's but with their fields. That some sponsor will back them to change the color of the field. Once it starts it will be hard to stop. Some programs won't do it but you know money will talk some into it. I sure hope there is a ruling against it someday. That or conference rules.

    Imagine if Tech did one? What about Okie State? Theirs would look like our end zones!!! [​IMG]

    If I'm not mistaken, Eastern Washington has red turf - just not the stripes.

    As much as the NCAA does to create a level playing field, or set the standards for the very football they play with, why don't they maintain standards for fields and get everyone back to green?

    Hmmm...a partially maroon field...I wonder how long it will be before the cult plans something similar for their upgrade of the tackle box??? It would go well with those God-awful new Nike unis of theirs.

    I think Cal Tech should have a synthetic turf field that is wired with some kind of super futuristic LCD thread technology.

    They could change the field colors of each 5-yard rectangle during the game. Kind of like the changing electronic advertising banners ringing stadiums that let us know about McDonalds and Taco Bell.

    Wait, does DeLoss know about this yet?

    Shhh....

    They weren't. It's not like they're Texas.

    Those fields are ridiculous. The NCAA and UIL needs to make rules on football fields now.

    the only reason fields were green before is because no one had thought about it until Boise. Its ugly in some cases, and works for others. Don't see the problem.

    I think that is a stretch.

    So purple and gray is more muted and wouldn't cause any more confusion than a maroon and gray field would. Maroon and Gray aren't even that different.

    Not that it matters. I think the main point is that all non-green fields should be outlawed.

    Maybe it's just phototography differences, but that maroon is a lot brighter and redder than, say, Texas A&M's Maroon,.

    Wow. My wife's family lives in Belleville, IL. We might be going there for Christmas. If so, I'll have to check it out, just to satisfy my idle curiosity that such a thing actually exists. Thankfully, my vision is already so shot that viewing this can't do too much damage.
