Rockstar Matt Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 The current Cowboys' field looks too dark. It looked terrible during the Super Bowl, in particular (and yes, I know it was a different field). The green being so dark may be part of the reason why all the field graphics looked faint and faded.This. He's exactly right.

jgiff17 Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 here's what shields-watkins field looked like for the buffalo game and will probably look like for the uga game.When I went to high school we had grass and our colors and uniforms copied that of the vols (with the exception of LP in place of the T). During every game we had a plain field except on homecoming or a big district match up when we would come out and see the orange and white checkerboard in the zones...it always pumped us up. My senior year they did orange and white checkerboard parallelograms with a huge circle with our interlocked LP primary helmet logo in the middle...it looked great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on the stadium, the field might not get enough light for grass to grow. This was the case with Gillette Stadium, as the high upper deck blocked the grass from getting enough sunlight. With as massive as Cowboy Stadium is and as relatively small as the roof opening is, I wouldn't be shocked if the field couldn't get sufficient light to grow grass.

bucknut40 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 But then there is Good Ol' Rocky Top ...Doesn't get much betterAlways have loved this, but what bothers me is that the end zone squares don't go all the way to the end lines. I never understood that. you see that sometimes in bowl games too. If any anyone can explain this to me that'd be awesomeI think theres an NCAA rule saying you need a few yards or blank space to no mess with the out of bounds lines #RaiderUpTwitter-@R_Redinger4 My Blog-Southwest Ohio Football NCFAF-Wheeling Coal Miners,NCFAF-FCS Lake Erie Shoremen, NCFAB-Wheeling Coal Miners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bucknut40 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 best:Arizona State vs. USC, 2005 (couldn't find a better image, though there are youtube videos available).What?? How did I miss this, that looks incredible, ASU has done some cool things with there field. I remember the Sun Devil with a Turkey on a thanksgiving game and they did some neat stuff with LSU after Katrina #RaiderUpTwitter-@R_Redinger4 My Blog-Southwest Ohio Football NCFAF-Wheeling Coal Miners,NCFAF-FCS Lake Erie Shoremen, NCFAB-Wheeling Coal Miners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuordr Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 I really like this field especially with the Giants outlined in Pink, but that NFL logo at midfield lowers this to one of the worst in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasleyK Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Apogee Stadium, the new home of the North Texas Mean Green, has a bit of alternating greens on the field. I like the bkack trim as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I really like this field especially with the Giants outlined in Pink, but that NFL logo at midfield lowers this to one of the worst in the league. *pic removed due to size*I don't mind the NFL logo at midfield for the Giants and Jets. They share a stadium, so I like that the centre field logo is neutral.
