Field Turf in Tiger Stadium

We could get white turf to match our all white jerseys

Agreed. You can't tell the difference between the player and the field.

And Oregon's wing jerseys match well with the ugliness of the field.

I play on a turf field for STM. It is miserable in the middle of the day practicing.

The fact that the same home team matches their damn uniform with that dreaded blue surface just reaks of self importance and borders on unfair. I can't even make out half the players in HD.

actually, i really do think it is an unfair advantage for them. the NCAA needs to make a rule on this. boise st can be grandfathere in until the turf needs to be replaced.

There is actually a rule in the NCAA rulebook that says that Boise State is the only team that can have any turf color other than green.

i'm not trying to pick a fight, but why is it an advantage?

because they have the ability to get accustomed to a very VERY odd distracting color.

there are home field advantages of many types, but this one is over the top in my opinion.

and even if it isnt.. i still think it needs to be outlawed. hypothetically we could have stadiums popping up with red turf, orange turf, purple turf, etc.

NCAA has many regulations on their fields. they should just add one more that the playing surface - if artificial - needs to be within a certain range of green colors

If you have ever played sports, then you know field perception is WAY different from th press box view.

The Oregon players are seeing blue players moving very fast on a blue field.

Not Fair.

Green is a normal color that the players are used to playing on.

Teams who rarely play on a blue field are not used to the visual.
