Saints games or any college game that's played in there always feel dingy and the colors look awful. I wish they would upgrade their lighting or something. The fact that they don't paint their endzones makes it worse. This, 1000000%. Awful venue for football. AWFUL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a dark, drab building, and never fully painting the end zones for anything other than the Super Bowl is annoying. They are a cheap and lazy group of people.

Unfortunately it's still old by NFL standards and should've been replaced, but asking people to pay for a new stadium wasn't going to happen after what it cost to rebuild around the Superdome.

RayFinkle Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Hmmm there are nice optics for the game. Kinda surprised. Field looks good. Logos pop. Unis are sweet. Decent lighting too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jn8 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I love LSU in gold/white/gold. I love Clemson in all orange. I hate them paired together. LSU in purple would make this much better, but as it is, orange and athletic gold are so close it’s just not quite a great matchup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WBeltz Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Both teams are wearing white 2020 Playoff patches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lahaye7 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 like the font on the lsu national championship caps, not the fleur de lis though. I am sore,wounded, but not slainI will lay down and bleed a whileAnd then rise up to fight again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BVZ Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Fantastic championship matchup, with both teams looking their best. LSU in anything but the classic whites would have been criminal. Clemson’s big game orange britches always look great as well. When’s the last time a major championship matchup included 2 teams who do not use any shades of blue or red?

Celtics vs Lakers? FCS Championship was green and yellow vs purple and gold though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the white 2020 patch on the white LSU jersey would bother me but I actually liked it. It made it less intrusive but was easy to see and read on my tv.

Lakers over Celtics in 2010 was the first one that popped into my head as well. The last time in happened in each of the other major sports: MLB - A’s over the Giants in 1989 NFL- Packers over Steelers in 2011 NHL- Penguins over Sharks in 2016 (San Jose’s teal is more green to me than blue) NCAA Hoops- San Francisco over Iowa in 1956 College World Series- LSU over Texas in 2009. Aplogies for getting off topic - just was an interesting thought to me. That’s how you know College football season has ended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WavePunter Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Interesting thing I noticed... The 2016 Alabama/Clemson matchup featured no TV numbers on the jerseys whatsoever.. (I know Alabama's helmets count as TV numbers).. also Alabama vs ND in 2013 was the same.. not sure of any other times that can be said.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oddball Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I could care less the reason, I just find it interesting that Clemson has won both times in white jerseys. Maybe they get superstitious and wear the white jersey next year when they return to the title game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
