It doesn't look as bad as I thought it would based on the mock-up.

And yeah, Central Arkansas actually is pulling that off very well. It does not look bad at all. Just like I personally think Eastern Washington's red field doesn't look that bad. But for some reason, Boise's blue, to me personally, needs to be destroyed. :sick: I just can't stand it.

Sports Illustrated describes it as "Barf Turf" (http://www.arkansassports360.com/25309/sports-illustrated-describes-uca-field-as-barf-turf)

No. It was natural surface prior to this change.

I know I'm in the minority but I love colored fields. Is it a gimmick, yes, but it gives schools something identifiable and gives the stadium some character.

Well, Sports Illustrated apparently employs dumbasses. To say this is horrible looking field, this is the best colored field in my opinion. If I had to rank them, easily, it's 1. Central Arkansas, 2. Eastern Washington, 3. Boise State.

Alcohol makes all things look better. Once I drunk a 4 (GIRL) up to a 7 or 8. That being said, no amount of alcohol can fix this field.

This does not look good in my opinion. I have never been a fan of this stuff.

The field itself is just a terrible field. It has little to do with the coloring. The sprinturf stuff needs to be applied. It might actually look good if it wasn't the crappy astro turf

No, the old AstroTurf is gone forever. It was literally a green rug on top of concrete. The new stuff "feels" like grass and has rubber under it to soften falls.

And it had the nasty habit of causing turf toe, twisted/broken ankles, and broken legs. Not to mention people scrapin' the hell out of their arms/legs on the shit when they would skid across it.

I know all that,..but the way he wrote his comment looked like he was saying thats what they were using now for the field.

I've stood on both and know what they are. I really dont understand why someone approved that 70s crap and let it ride for a...30 years or so....the players in those games must have held back at least a little aggression to avoid some pain...
