Eastern Washington University To Install Red Football Turf
Article: http://goeags.com/sports/m-footbl/20...fbJan26RedTurf
 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.

Nothing like playing football on a field of BLOOD

Re: Eastern Washington University To Install Red Football Turf
It's covered in snow all Winter there. That should be interesting.

Re: Eastern Washington University To Install Red Football Turf
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.

Re: Eastern Washington University To Install Red Football Turf
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.

Re: Eastern Washington University To Install Red Football Turf
While I could see "field coloring" getting of of hand in the near future...who is Boise State to say what color others can make their field?

Re: Eastern Washington University To Install Red Football Turf
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.

Re: Eastern Washington University To Install Red Football Turf
Well, that will get them on ESPN more often.
I really don't want to see this idea spread. |

Re: Eastern Washington University To Install Red Football Turf
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.
