I have a feeling that this is just the beginning of an era of non-green football fields. The University of New Haven (CT) installed a blue field recently, and Boise State got in a tizzy about it.
Help stamp out, eliminate, and do away with redundancy.
Nothing like playing football on a field of BLOOD
Go Gators!
It's covered in snow all Winter there. That should be interesting.
This wouldn't have been possible in the era of analog TV. Analog TV doesn't cope well with larqe quantities of the color red.

I don't like this. The blue field in Boise is ugly, distracting, and just not right; and this one doesn't look much better. Sports like that belong on green grass.

I'd rather listen to Kelch read the phone book than suffer through Thom Brennaman's attempt to make every instance on the field the most important event since the discovery of manned space flight. -westofyou
Wonder how long before UK does an all blue football field at Commonwealth.

I suspect you'll find schools installing fields that aren't blue, per se, but rather "azure," "cerulean," "cobalt," or "prussian."
Wear gaudy colors, or avoid display. Lay a million eggs or give birth to one. The fittest shall survive, yet the unfit may live. Be like your ancestors or be different. We must repeat!
What, do you work at Crayola or somethin'?I suspect you'll find schools installing fields that aren't blue, per se, but rather "azure," "cerulean," "cobalt," or "prussian."

Too bad the University of Hawaii football team changed their name to Warriors around 2000... before that they were called the Rainbow Warriors. Don't like the non-green fields, but would love to see it taken to the limit.
Never. Never ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever.
(or so I hope.)
Now how will we know where the Red Zone is?
Next Reds manager, second shooter. --Confirmed on Redszone.
Well, that will get them on ESPN more often.
I really don't want to see this idea spread.
I am thinking of suggesting to Marshall University that it claim exclusive rights to football fields in its team colors.
Marshall's colors are green and white.
"Hey...Dad. Wanna Have A Catch?" Kevin Costner in "Field Of Dreams."
The Dons might use that idea....if they had a football team.
