Busy turf

Not a big fan of the two-tone turf color. It looks too busy on tv, 2 shades of green, black & gold endzones. Wish the whole field was one green shade

I somewhat agree. There are times when I think it looks fantastic, but sometimes the lighting makes it look bad in my opinion. I still love not seeing the track around the field.

It looks better in person or on a wide screen view. It does look a little busy on closer angles to me.

Not a fan. I don’t know why we went with two shades of green.

It’s suppose to look like a real grass field that was cut in two directions.

I think it looks fantastic. Helps with down and distance from a low angle, too.

Looks great. Roll 'neers, don't roll old school reel grass cutters.

On a side note, this turf has a ton of that black rubber everywhere. The whole field is covered with it. Literally watch players run or tackle and you'll see black rubber spray every time. Clicked over to Citadel game and their turf was pristine. Perfect green

Love the turf, but this was embarassing production... I’ve wondered (and been pissed off) in the past, but what in the hell is excusable for not having a down/yardage counter on the tv screen?!... SOCON Saturday is one thing, but anything with an ESPN branding?!?!?!

I like the field with the alternating darker and lighter greens. I do wish the stripes ran the length of the field instead of sideline to sideline. For one thing, NO ONE is doing that. Secondly, stripes running the length instead of the width would give the appearance of KBS losing a few pounds. Everyone knows horizontal stripes makes the midsection appear wider.
This is my very generic signature added to each post.

I think the field looks great on TV. Can’t wait to see it in person.
