    My alma mater going with Red Field Turf...



    Ugh, thanks in part to a $500,000 donation from former Eastern Eagle Mike Roos we're getting our field redone.

    Red freaking turf. I absolutely hate it. I think it's going to look overwhelmingly bad. I realize that it will stand out as something different in recruiting but I hate Boise State's blue turf and blue is a lot easier on the eyes than red. This blows.

    That's awful. Who would ever think this is a good idea?

    Some people are fucking stupid.

      Really pissed me off. From a fans view of the field, red jerseys on that field are going to suck. And when Portland State and their green come into town it'll be Christmas in October. I feel like 3D glasses are now a must.

          Everyone I've talked to out there says it sounds bad but they demo'd it and it looks awesome. Don't really know how they previewed it but I hope it doesn't suck ass like it seems.

            If I said it wasn't bad, would you guys think any less of me?

                I think it's cool...then again, I'll only have to see it once. ESPN will show a game on the turf, and never mention it again...but Eastern Washington will live with it forever.

                      How is that going to help recruiting? Who would want to play on that?

                        That's exactly what I thought until I talked to the football players. They all love the idea. D 1-AA Football players are not the smartest dudes

                            Anyway, I thought this wasn't allowed? I thought the NCAA passed a rule saying all fields had to be "generally" green, besides for Boise State's field being grandfathered in along with New Haven (D2 school). Any other fields couldn't be artificially colored some other color than a shade of green...

                            Oh well. I think it looks sweet. I'd love for GVSU to have blue turf, or even better, black turf.
                            That's what I thought but I heard the NCAA has to approve it but few thought a school could make an argument for it.

                              Too early for that. Go fuck yourself Montana. Hillbillies.
