DeFrank Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 When did you see the blue turf at Boise State and what was your first reaction?TY: On my recruiting trip. And I was like, this is real. That was the first thing I thought. I was hoping that I could get adjusted and not focus on the color of the field. But it was just like any green field.Does it give Boise a home-field advantage?TY: Definitely. A lot of stuff in Boise is made for the home-field advantage. We have a couple of blue-outs so the fans wear all blue, the field?s blue and we have on blue jerseys so you kind of blend in on the field.The NFL has outlawed teams from having a ?Smurf Turf,? but what kind of colored fields would you like to see?TY: There should be a purple field in Baltimore, a green field in Philadelphia ?But it is green ?TY: Their green. Yellow in Pittsburgh. A Bengals? stripped field in Cincinnati would be a great invention. concepts: washington football (2017) ... nfl (2013) ... yikes potd 10/20/12 origin story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 The yellow field would look like ugly dead grass, but his other ideas sound awesome. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanMcD29 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I thought football stadiums are only supposed to be for EXPLOSIONS and FOOTBALL!Please no colored fields. I can barely tolerate them at the NCAA level (Boise's meh, Eastern Washington good lord..) and there's no way I could stand them at the NFL level Twitter: @RyanMcD29 // College Crosse: Where I write, chat, and infograph lacrosse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tBBP Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I personally wouldn't advocate any colored fields...HOWEVUH, one thing I would like to see some teams try is something akin to what the University of Cincinnati does...the yard numbers on their field are the same font as the ones on their jerseys. (Check this link here to see what I'm talking about.) I think that'd be a great way to add a little bit of team "individualism" to some home fields. (I could particularly see this working in Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Houston.) *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wouldn't be too crazy as long as you keep the sidelines by the end zones white Twitter: @RyanMcD29 // College Crosse: Where I write, chat, and infograph lacrosse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueYankee26 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Who thinks the Colts should use blue turf?

It's gimmicky and they might blend in, you know. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
