I think it works for them, b/c its so unique. I actually like the architecture / design of Boise's stadium too, kind of looks like a open air hockey arena with a football field

It works for them as long as they keep winning. Stop winning and it looks gimmicky and amateurish.
Then again, they'd still probably brag about it since, well, what else is there to brag about in Idaho?

But think about the brand

But think about the brand identification they have. This is a small school in Idaho, and yet practically college football fan can instantly recognize a game played at their stadium when it's on TV. That's a big deal.

This is true. Though, as it
This is true. Though, as it
This is true. Though, as it is with any sport, they just have to keep winning. I think they'd be fine without the blue turf, but I like my playing surfaces green and, well, less seizure inducing.

What the fuck are you talking
What the fuck are you talking
What the fuck are you talking about "they have to keep winning"? 63-2 at home as of late. I guess they could win more (2) in that span. NO OTHER TEAM CAN CLAIM THEIR HOME RECORD.
Think before you make your self look sports retarded.

I'm actually surprised more teams
I'm actually surprised more teams
haven't gone custom color-ed turf, especially some of these "I wanna be Zombie Nation RAWK" schools.. like Nike springing for a neon yellow turf to match those hideous Duck jerseys.
Other possibilities:
- Texas Tech with black turf
- Northwestern with purple turf
And no, I do not want night games with maize jerseys and metallica intro music.... but maybe the hockey band learning "whammer jammer" by J Geils Band would be nice...

I could be wrong
I could be wrong
but I think the NCAA now has a rule stating that the field must be green in color, with Boise's field being grandfathered in. Again though - I could be wrong.
And to be perfectly fair if I were a Boise fan I'd probably love the field. As a non-fan, and someone completely ambivalent to Boise as a team, I dislike it.
September 3rd, 2009 at 10:33 PM |
Seriously?
Seriously?
that's seems really toolish, but it is the NC-Double A, so I guess I'm not surprised.

Holy Shit

reading that entry you linked to, I saw Boise is 64-2 since 1999 at home, with the only two losses coming to wash St in 2001 and BC in a bowl game in 2005 (Matt Ryan led Eagles?). I guess roll on blue turf-ers, roll on.

Only 1 ranked team though
Only 1 ranked team though
I know they are rolling at home, but on ESPN they just did their trivia question. "How many games has Boise State played at home vs. ranked teams since 1999." The answer was ONE- tonight. Guess that is what happens when you play in the WAC!
We bleed maize and blue!!!

texas tech with black turf?

So they'd continue to play 75%
So they'd continue to play 75%
of their games at night. But think of the home field advantage?
"Well texas texh won their 45th consecutive home game on their black turf, aka "Death Grass" as the opposition could only field a squad of 8 players by the end of the game due to exhaustion, heat stroke, and acts of piracy"

Does the blue turf look like it is 20 years old or something? I have HD, but the turf looks like the most worn out turf ever, kinda like worn out driving range turf.
September 3rd, 2009 at 11:01 PM |
Yes

I was beginning to wonder if it was field turf or old-school astro turf.

It probably doesn't bother them too much, since they see it all of the time in practice. The opposing QB, however, might have trouble seeing the DBs.

Honestly that might have been the worst half of offensive football I've ever seen, and that's saying an awful lot. 14 yards of offense, five three and outs, and no first downs.

Or whether his kicker feels trusted or not.

but I agree. I can't stand that blue field.
