Coastal Carolina announces plans for teal-colored field (Photo)



The trend of making college football field turf a color other than green has just taken a bluish-green turn.


Coastal Carolina announced via Twitter this week that it was in the process of finalizing plays to lay teal turf in its stadium for 2015.


You read that right, teal.

It’s that color that’s not quite green and not quite blue and definitely not turquoise. It’s the color of the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Miami Dolphins, but neither of those teams thought the color would look good on the turf.


This is what happens when you go 12-2 and finish as Big South co-champions for the third consecutive season. You start getting wild ideas about what football turf should really look like.


Go ahead, called me a traditionalist stick in the mud for thinking that grass should be green. Honestly, we can all blame Boise State for this.


After all, the Broncos were the first to go away from the traditional green field and use a bright blue (royal blue?) in its place. Then teams like Eastern Washington, Central Arkansas and Eastern Michigan all decided to get in on the field game turning their turf red and a couple shades of gray respectively.


Fear the day when the color green is the “strange” field color because this is a slippery slope, people.

Will this go with a new set of uniforms too or, at the very least, uniform numbers? We're going to refrain from complete judgment until we see them paired with uniforms. However, we will say that they don't top Baylor's chrome domes.
