Central Arkansas announces multi-colored turf

I thought this was a joke since it's April 1st, but this is indeed legit.

Alternating purple and gray field, with black endzones. :?

UCA is the first school in the Southland Conference to throw off the ancient chains of chlorophyll, but at this rate it won't be the last: With the increased exposure of Boise State's famous blue turf and the bold "Blood Field" motif at defending FCS champion Eastern Washington, small schools everywhere are upping the ante to find a niche on the national radar.

What a bunch of copycats. :lol:

Where would they get such a stupid idea? :lol:

At least Eastern waited 23 years from the time Boise first implemented the non-green turf. Doing it now, just one year after us, is frightening unoriginal. I would have thought the next school would wait at least another couple of years...

I'm guessing our Championship had something to do with it.

Umm.....hmmm. :shock:

Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery. That being said, I love both the inferno and the smurf turf, but the alternating color scheme worries me. Oh well, not gonna knock em for jumping on our bandwagon!

 

[Screamin_Eagle174]

Solid fields look good, but this is just plain ridiculous. If our field were red and white striped, I couldn't embrace it. Just fucks with your eyes way too much.

 

[EWURanger]

Yeah, I'm not really diggin' this but maybe it will look better once complete.

BTW, what they have for their visitors side grandstand is exactly what we need at Roos.

i think it looks okay myself. Colored fields will be as common as colored basketball courts in 20 years.

YIKES is all i can say and i feel lucky that wsu is going with green turf for our new install.


here is a thread we had to design the turf since wsu considered fan designs:

I love it...

 

[FreeBird]

Have the come up with a name for the field? I'm thinking The Zebra. Or maybe just The Bra.

this is just horrible.

That's what they said about our "Red" field. I'm for all of them.
