Coloured fields must be stopped. Whatever the cost.

It's too bad they aren't nicknamed the "Sharks" because this field is jumping over it.

Wow this is getting out of hand... I bet NIKE is going to design fields soon... like pro combat fields with swooshes at each 25 yard line. It IS going to happen.

The fact that colored-field haters like the majority of this forum are still talking about them incessantly proves that they're doing their job.

Here's a story from the Orlando Sentinel and here's one from Yahoo

So? Doesn't make any of us wrong. They look like crap. Boise's blue field is kind of annoying, but not too awful. EWU's field is eye-searing. This maybe happening UCA field is just completely idiotic and would be miserable to watch a game on. They can have all the publicity they want, I don't care, they'll still look like clowns and eventually this fad will be looked at as a terrible, tacky sign of the times deals.

Being unique is great and all, but being unique doesn't mean what you're doing is necessarily good. But I guess some people just want something "different" so badly that they don't care how awful and trashy it is.

Problem, that lead to this:

But seriously, that field looks dumb.

That's because it's catchy. Kudos to whomever invented it.

And, to address the topic at hand, notwithstanding my deeply entrenched Old School roots, I'm not immediately reviled by these colored fields. Pardon the 50's terminology, but I think they're kind of neat.

Considering the subject matter is "colored" fields, the 50's terminology is completely appropriate.

I like colored fields...at least for second rate college teams.

I like one colored field, Boise State, because it was the first. All the others are jumping on a trend and that's what I don't like about them. Find your own thing, I say.

And we're talking about Arkansas.

Which is to say "oops." I was referring, of course, to the term "neat," not "colored."

It takes one instance for something to become a trend?

I don't think it will look as bad as West Hills High School in California. I think it actually think the purple looks neat. Even though everyone seems to disagree with it

Here's West Hills
