re: The Top Ten field designs in college football

I understand the tradition, but watching the every 5 yards marked on the LSU field is one of the worst things for watching a game on tv. I watch every LSU game as my wife is an alum When a player is running you see a constant string of numbers. When someone gets tackled near a 5 yard line you first look up and realize you have to go to one of the ten's to see what side of the field it is (if you had been looking at something else during the play).
Everything else is great about LSU's field.

Field used to look better with the purple and gold sidelines from 2000-2001 seasons. Get some shrubbery or something lining the fence too ![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/IconPimp.gif)

Wish they made the LSU bigger so it covers then entire endzone, like they used to do.

2, 3, 5, 7, and 8 B are unremarkable.
LSU's is definitely worthy of a top 5 ranking, but I couldn't help but notice all the brown patches in the field. I'm guessing that LSU uses grass, so the field goes through cycles of being magnificent versus neat.

This and we went back to the big LSU in the end zones and ditch the geaux font.

Truther - and TS was my home at one time. Still cool to tell my kids that dad once lived in TS (239 SS '83-'85).

I wanna see John Chavis's face in the endzones looking mean and fierce!

LSU belongs in Top Ten, but not #1.
LSU logos in end zones are way too small, as is the Tiger Eye.
Fasbender apparently doesn't know how to paint or directionally mow the alternating light-dark pattern every five yards. Makes the field look better, so let's not do it! That's laziness.![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/Iconbanghead.gif)

Aside from lsu, I've always liked Georgia and there whole between ?the hedges thing. Tennessee is nice also. Wyoming field is great. Nebraska is awesome as well. And as for Boise, at first I used to love it. But the more and more I look at it the more I hate it. It gives me a giant headache watching them play on TV. Notre dame belongs nowhere on that list, at all

Overrated

I personally like the smaller Geaux font better than the giant western-looking letters.

I love the look of LSU's field. The end zones pop because of the alternate coloring and the 5 yard markings look so much better than 10. The eye doesn't need an explanation.
