Serious question, would this affect their ability to have night games you think?

The field is not a "done deal." But it is confirmed they are "altering" the field color.

1. The ACC is bad.
2. Two years ago, they finished 3rd in the ACC.
3. They picked up one of the best WRs out of high school.

That said, they will be be around 6-6 next year.

But, this field is an awful idea.
They are trying to be bigger in football, but it is not going to happen. Maryland is, and will always be, a basketball school.
I went there for grad school, and the stands are half 3/4 full most of the time.

Also, even if they did change the field, the stadium itself still sucks ass. It is small, and has no real architecture to it. It has a huge massive concrete upper deck that is ugly as hell. And it only sits like 40k.

The "black" field would have been much "cooler."

I don’t get how that turned out like that. A turf field is nothing more (at the surface level) than those little black pellets and little strips of thin plastic sticking up to look like grass. How could they not color the plastic correctly?

The pic above is of swatches they were testing - they're supposed to be all different shades.

So is it still a possibility then or was this before they decided to go with the computer image above?

The green field will be the field. They just tried out the gray swatches to see what they thought.

I know that is a first year program in NAIA, but is that a road and railroad track where the vistors stands should be?
