Turf field could become a reality for next season. AD in talks today to get this done. Look for a new color field not seen anywhere else.

Yes. Not Black & Gold, but they are working on a new color scheme.

Any word on Shipley? Not whether or not they're getting a new color but whether they're getting a turf OF.

I've always thought the grass at Shipley was in pretty decent shape given the weather around here. Turf would definitely be easier to maintain in the early season though.

Is it going to be a plain field or is it going to be lined and have endzones?

Drains terribly. I saw a game this year where it had rained the day before and there were still puddles in the outfield.

Care to share what color? Terrapin Red? And no field lowering on this go-around, correct?

I was really unhappy when I heard about the colored field but it's going to look awesome.

No field lowering - not in the budget, plus it would take too long. If everything gets approved they want to start installation next month.
I dont know the exact color, but heard it will be different from any existing field (Eastern Washington already has red, btw)

If it's the scheme I've heard it's going to get a ton of attention.

Nothing crazy like that, just definitely not something that's been done in major CFB before.
