This is some bright turf!
« on: January 06, 2011, 12:55:37 PM »
New Braunfels Canyon HS has the first red turf for a high school in the nation.  Personally, I think it is neat!

"Fugly" is too kind a word for it.

If they had their "own" stadium, then I'd say Katy HS. But if they ever rip the turf up out of Robertson Stadium, then maybe U of H! z^

Maybe Katy High will stage a coup and have Rhodes done up in it anyways.  ;D

Does this mean I will have to pick Red IT off of my game socks or will it still be the Black rubber beads?

Note to Grant: Hope I avoided the censors.

Awful. Rule 1 needs an amendment: Fields must be green.

Love it.  Mostly cos I really enjoy all the wailing and gnashing of teeth from people who hate it.

Brown astroturf, now there's an idea.  ;D

Just send a crew of red/green colourblind folks (like myself). We'll not notice the difference anyway!  ;D (Maybe).

When I get to play on a 100 yard, correctly marked pitch more than twice a  year I'll start worrying what colour it is [maybe/not].

If they start banning colors from fields, can we ban the yellow natural grass with blue markings some of us in Amarillo people get to call on late in the season?   I swear one of our stadiums is yellow with blue spray paint.
