You REALLY can't afford to remove the "Boise State" from the field?

[NubomTurk]

Then you can't afford to put on a bowl game.

Utah State and Toledo playing in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, right on top of the Boise State Bronco logo at midfield, and with orange and blue "Boise State" in both end zones.

Yeah, I get it: it costs money to change that stuff. Well if you don't have enough money to dress up the field (or at least remove the Boise references), then you really don't have the money to be holding a bowl game.

Potatoes grow better in the orange paint.

What they oughta do is to tell the bowl committee that if they want to have a bowl game, they have to have it on green turf.

Is either team wearing all blue?

 

[NubomTurk]

That stadium sucks. The TV cameras are so close to the fans that when there's a big play and the fans stand up and throw their hands in the air, it totally blocks the camera. I've seen it twice tonight, and it reminded me of how annoying that was during the TCU-Boise game there.

Tired of the commercials about Idaho & Boise. We get it, it's a crappy place, stop trying to convince us otherwise.

And yes, Boise is THAT poor.

Go Utah State!

Last time I checked schools don't change the field because there's a bowl game.

 

[oldscribe]

Two games on. One blue turf and one red turf......I think I'll be sick...

Didn't watch the New Mexico Bowl did ya?

I'm pretty sure the Armed Forces Bowl end zones don't say "Horned Frogs." A couple of years ago, the Google Earth image of AGC showed them painting "Air Force" and "Houston" in the end zones.

And I'm certain that the Rose Bowl end zones didn't say "UCLA" when we were there.

The difference being that Boise has a turf field and AGC and the Rose Bowl have easily painted grass.

Yes, because changing out carpet is a virtual impossibility ...

 

[Delmonico]

Dont suppose it occurred to anybody that the logo was left there not because of cost, but that represents a little extra advertising.......

 

[Prince of Purpoole]

Famous Idaho Potato Bowl was too long to put on the field....or maybe too spare.

The Fake Grass can be painted.

Jerry Jones always changes it out. TCU has been there each time. Oregon St and BYU painted when they played us. It's not hard. Get a blank blue rectangle of grass that fits endzone and use washable paint to paint end zones.

 

[smredd]

the turf can be painted over. The Armed Forces Bowl did it at SMU both years they were there. Most likely, the turf manager or Athletic Department didn't want it to be painted (very common) because it would take a while for the paint to be removed or washed out. Either way, it can be done and should be done. Boise is a joke

 

[PurplFrawg]

If they removed the "Boise State" and the donkey head from the field, viewers might not know where the game was being played.

They painted over the MWC logos for the game. Put a famous Idaho logo over it and also put some corporate sponsor logo over it.

Boise has always been rinky dink with the bowl. Just ask BC about their bowl experience.
