Ohio Stadium aka THE Horseshoe (Official Thread)

[Dee-Liem]

Is there an example of a college or NFL stadium with FieldTurf that doesn't have a colored endzone (i.e. grass colored with text)?

I can't think of one. I've seen numerous high school stadiums without colored endzones though.

you can't think of ONE?

Seahawks have done both

Thank you. So it is possible.

Thank you. So it is possible.

But can you win a football game by kicking only field goals, if the other team scores a TD?

Since when is a toilet pornographic? Ugh - I don't want to think about the porn you're looking at.

Jeff Svoboda from Scout.com reporting that the field design will remain the same. He spoke with someone from the athletics department & they confirmed that.

I think the athletic department is kind of standing behind that center-stripe design on the football helmet. The scarlet center, white stripe and a black outline.

The Block O at midfield kind of replicates that design pattern (scarlet center, white outline and black outline). Maybe they wanted the end zones to match the Block O.

I realize it's for television, but why can't the Big Ten logo on the east side of Ohio Stadium face the east stands?

The numbers are already facing the east stands.

Dang... you beat me to the answer.

What will be next? Turning the block O in the center of the field to face the east stands?

SEC logo is facing opposite ways at Alabama (not both facing TV camera).

They seem to be doing ok.

But that's so the fans on the west side of the stadium know how to spell S-E-C when they're up by three touchdowns in the fourth quarter.
