I really really really hate that blue turf

Makes it hard to see the Boise players. Even the First Down Line system is having trouble differentiating between the blue players and the blue turf.

ESPN right now.

1. Wasn't that color the result of a factory mistake?

3. Nope, it was intentional

In 1986, after sixteen seasons of playing on standard green Astroturf, the university installed the bright blue synthetic surface for which Bronco Stadium is often known. It was replaced with the same in 1995, as a part of a two-year major stadium expansion which brought the seating capacity to 30,000 seats, as BSU transitioned to Division I-A status from Division I-AA's Big Sky Conference.

It's one butt-ugly football field.

So the QB can see them.
