The locals probably already marked this team as losers despite being competitive in the first two games. Hotter Than July > Thriller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plan to throw a hook and ladder was silly. Throw outs to the sticks and get out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDAWG Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 So ummm...what was up with Utah's field today? The End zones said UTES and the Red "U" of Utah at midfield and the Pac 12 logos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been the same thing probably if Arizona was playing in Glendale and the end zones said Cardinals, with the Cardinals logo at midfield and the NFL logos. Actually it would have been more embarrassing for the AAF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The endzones are red and white plastic blades and the numerals and Pac 12 logos are glued into the turf. It would be foolishly unsafe to put another surface over that turf.

Other than season ticket holders taking advantage of a discount, who on earth would buy tickets in advance with associated fees when you can just buy them at the door for the face value price? Plus, AAF has been abysmal with marketing in the weeks leading up to the season. 38 minutes ago, dfwabel said: Hmmmm.... Boise State Eastern Washington Central Arkansas Baylor Texas West Virginia Ohio State Michigan Most college stadiums are exactly like Utah and do not need to be repainted week to week. High school stadiums have that too. It's not unique at all. Painting blank endzone is actually the oddball. A chalk based paint that can pressure washed off shouldn't hurt that turf at all. It sounds like Utah just didn't want to include that into their rent or aaf just wasn't willing to pay. It'd have been better if Salt Lake had red and black colors to make it not look so obvious.
