  Is this their attempt to be the next Boise State?

  This makes the Blue Turf look way better.

  I believe it is a marketing ploy
• Sykotyk

  

  It's obviously got people talking about Eastern Washington.
  
  I have no problem with it. If teams had an issue, just don't schedule to play them.

  How much longer until LSU puts in the purple turf?
• darbypitcher22

  

  kind of looks like they painted a football field on top of a regular running track

  Ridiculous

  Lol time for Orange turf at Clemson. Seriously tho, the red looks godawful.

  I though the NCAA banned anything except green and Boise was just grandfathered.

  Is the ban just for 1-A schools, perhaps?

  No, there's no ban. I guess it was discussed but it never was passed. I believe that they're reconsidering the issue now, and if they do make a rule, these two schools will obviously be grandfathered in, just like LSU is with every 5 yards being marked on their field.
• bigkahuna

  I think that's right Cat. I-AA schools can do whatever the fuck they want lol. But, I do think that those rules only go for I-A
• ManO'War

  

  I wish Big Red would put in red turf...or better yet black!

  How about a different color every 5 yard strip?

  This would have been perfect for Hawaii before they changed their name from the Rainbow Warriors.

  No such rule exist.

  zones, goals and pylons as indicated and titled in the diagrams on pages

  I'd like it better if it was black
• Sykotyk

  

  Black would look better. The red just isn't 'vibrant'. It's a dull drying blood color.
  
  Jet black would be interesting, though, I agree.
