As if the Blue field wasn't bad enough. I get sea sick everytime I watch Boise play.

Should schools keep this rainbow trend going, I'll be setting the TV and computer screens to B&W. If I'm gonna get sick watching games, I'd prefer that it be due to Guinness and Jameson. Or piss poor play on the part of the team I want to/think should win.

I'm happy they did that. That'll make Boise feel less special. It may force the NCAA to step in and demand green turf. I'm sure Scott Van Pelt will have something funny to say on SportsCenter in week 1.

So... how long until it becomes pink turf after being out in the sun?

Hopefully Eastern Washington has budgeted enough to re-paint the surface more than once a decade unlike Boise State.

Re Boise St... interesting that their home uniforms are the same shade of blue as the field. Although not sure how much of an impact that would have.

Based on the size of the stands, it appears that they may have up to a couple hundred people attend the games!

I honestly think I would quit supporting a team if they did this. I can't stand watching BSU at home.

I bet the schools are getting these because some market exec thought it'd be a great idea and convinved a company to make it. Then a company really produced the stuff and is forced to basically sell it off for free which is why the schools are buying it. New turf at a bargain price.

eh - they're just following the leaders of Boise State with the blue field and Notre Dame with their green field. This new fad will pass.

I was out at Eastern Washington Univeristy this summer and saw it. It is pretty cool actually. But, remember Cheney, Washington is out in the middle of nowhere. It is 1/2 hour from Spokane and 5 hours from Seattle. So, they need something to make them stand-out. And this was the easiest way to do it. Anyhow, it was pretty neat to see it live.

Go Irish!

I hate it, personally, and think someone needs a swift kick to the nuts.
