Maryland Football's Black Field Rumors May Have Terrifying, Nightmarish Legs - From Our Editors - SBNation.com

******* stupid.

Here's an idea Maryland - put together a better team, then you don't have to resort to gawd-awful uniforms and football fields designed by someone who has never watched a football game in his/her life to try to make your program relevant.

NCAA should mandate a green field. The ugly ones that are already in place can be grandfathered in. Problem solved.

...So Maryland can't wear any black at home then, right? Not even cleats?

Furthermore, guests should still be allowed to wear black cleats..

 

[racerhawk]

Brutal.

 

[latrans]

Could this soon be a reality? If Maryland plays fast and loose with the accepted parameters of reality, what is next? A purple JMU field? A TCU field made entirely out of drugs? A Florida turf comprised of arrests?

LOL

What a joke.

That field would be hot as hell on a sunny day.

Amen to that.

Amen to that.

IIRC it can't work - already tried; Boise was grandfathered in with the stipulation that they couldn't replace the blue field, only "repair" it.
So they were "repairing" large sections to circumvent the rule.

Maybe I have it wrong, but that's what I'm remembering

They should rethink this. THINK OF THE BIRDS!!

This could happen..

1,500 birds die crashing into Utah parking lot, roads - latimes.com

A thermometer placed on our traditional green field turf last august registered at over 120 degrees. I can't imagine what a black field would get to. While nice, the rubber used in those surfaces acts as radiant heat on sunny days...

 

[bcl20]

Welp, I see no reason to get upset over this.

 

[OnLookin08]

Hobbiehawk,

Common misconception, but a couple schools have put in these kind of fields recently. Central Arkansas comes to mind.

Also, fun fact...when i originally typed in "hobbiehawk" my iPad auto corrected it to "job org@asm"

Now you know...

LOL

This is getting silly and making college football look stupid.

College football has bowl games. I think it took care of the looking stupid part on its own.

We should have pink turf, better yet make EVERYTHING pink except our locker room
