Title: This is some bright turf!
Post by: TexDoc 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!

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^

Post by: texref on January 06, 2011, 11:53:22 PM: 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.

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).

Post by: allen on January 13, 2011, 01:32:25 PM: 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.
