Why was the Eye at midfield offset in 2000?

Was watching the replay of the Miss St game from 2000 on ESPNU last night and noticed that the Eye was centered between the North 45 and the 50 instead of right on midfield. Link to video below. You can see it right at the 2:35 mark of the video.

Just looked at some other clips from that season on Youtube and saw the same thing. Anyone know why they used to offset it like that instead of centering it right on the 50 like they do now?

The only thing I can come up with is if the entire tiger face was centered on the 50, that the right eye would be between the 45-50, and the left eye would be between the 50-45, so they initially painted it that way?

15 y/o S used to ponder this as well.

This is how all teams paint their logos. Don't you watch sports?

I liked it between the 45-50 off set, like the other eye was missing.
It was done on purpose.
15 y/o LaBR4 thought it was cool.

it was offset in the 80's under Arnsparger also.

Going through YouTube, looks like the eye was offset in 1984, 1985, 1991, 1992, 1994, and 2000. Eye in middle of field since 2001. Oddly enough, eye looks to be in the middle of the field in 1986.

The really need to make sure they get a person who knows what they're doing to paint the eye though. For some games over the past few years it looked pretty terrible

It was intentionally done to line up perfectly in the "S" during pregame band formation.

It was the year football started. Cut'em some slack.

Man I miss those days when the crowds were absolutely electric.
