Stampman Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Just saw this on Yahoo...NAIA school unveils the nation?s most original (hideous) football fieldAlthough I kind of like it.It will drive the purists crazy.

Kevin W. Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 It will drive the purists crazy.Not likely, considering it's just an NAIA school. This will make purists yawn.

BBTV Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 It has nothing to do with being a purist snob - it has everything to do with it being hard on your eyes to watch a game on that field. Maybe it'd be OK in real life where your eye can more easily separate the surface from the players, but on TV where everything is flat and the same "texture", it would cause headaches.

DelayedPenalty Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I'm fine with fields that are colors other than green, as long as they're 1 color. This is hard on the eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDixonDesign Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 The color combination is very hard on the eyes. The flat grey, just kills it. The double "maroon" at midfield also looks visually terrible. Meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topcityhockey Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I think for the players it might actually be nice. It gives a very good visual representation of the progress you are making on the field. As far as tv goes, this is an NAIA school- wow, it might inconvenience the 16 people that happen to tune into the game. Big freaking deal, time for football to be fun and do stuff that goes against the grain. Conformity is boring. Sunflower Hockey Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winghaz Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 For some reason, this really doesn't bother me as much as I thought it would. Maybe I expected to look a lot wilder than it does.The field I think looks really sharp is the red turf at Eastern Washington. It really stands out, but there is a problem. I remember watching the North Dakota State-Eastern Washington playoff game two years ago on TV, and it started snowing there. The white of the snow gave the red turf more of a pink look. A pink turf is not what the folks at Eastern Washington wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
