johnnysama Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I'll explain this one. This thread explores things that would work in one sport, but not in another. Here goes.......-----Baseball played on an artificial surface not colored green. Imagine, a blue playing field! (This in reference to a couple college football fields being in other colors than green).Anything more? This is all I can think of right now.

wildwing64 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 An ice rink in football/soccer. Although that would be hilarious to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oaklandhusker Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 An ice rink in football/soccer. Although that would be hilarious to watch.There's a game played on ice called bandy, that I believe is similar to soccer. ----Instant replay in baseball.

Although that would be hilarious to watch.There's a game played on ice called bandy, that I believe is similar to soccer. It's pretty much ice hockey with more players, a soccer pitch sized rink, and a ball. I believe it predates hockey. But an actual soccer game attempted on ice would be funny to see.

This is all I can think of right now.Why it "wouldn't work" I'm not comprehending... it'd look silly and unconventional, but it'd "work" from a logistical perspective.Now something that wouldn't "work" terribly well: reducing the circumference of a basketball goal to one inch greater than the diameter of the ball. Making baseball bats out of balsa wood. Playing baseball during winter months outdoors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Doctor Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Logos on the front of jerseys. Clearly a hockey only thing. The attempts to duplicate it in basketball and football produced some really horrible results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a baseball thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That idea could only apply to colder climates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Fighting in basketball. Power plays in... any sport but hockey. Goalies in basketball. Coaches coming out of their areas to argue calls for minutes at a time in any sport other than baseball. A couple of these shouldn't be allowed in any sport, but seem to be accepted for some reason.

Also, midgets work really well in pro wrestling but probably wouldn't be good in the NFL or NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
