    I think it will not show up right on TV. I know the Boise field doesn't show well.

    Re: Eastern Washington University To Install Red Football Turf

    I don't know if this is true or not, but I recently heard that the blue field at Boise State has another problem:

    Kamikaze birds are continually plowing into the turf after mistaking it for a water source.

    If this is true, then my bet would be their field would always remain "one of a kind."

    Marshall's colors are green and white.

    True, but the playing surface in Athens was usually brown until 2002.

    Apparently THE Louisiana State University is getting in on the act.

    I can't come up with words to describe how AWFUL that looks. Seriously.

    I could be wrong but I would think it would cause a lot of eye strain to watch players move around on that. Red is the harshest color...having to stare at it for hours would be rough, especially on a sunny day.

    Split Enz must have anticipated this stadium about 30 years ago.
