The Associated Press

BOISE, Idaho - The blue turf at Boise State University's Bronco Stadium is being replaced with different blue turf for free this summer because of a reflective glare that has irritated fans the last two seasons.

Athletic Director Gene Bleymaier says light-reflecting fibers in the current artificial field cause problems for people watching the game in person or on television.

Bleymaier says FieldTurf wants to fix the problem and is doing it for free. The school did not estimate the cost of the project.

The school says work will begin June 21 and should be done by July 30.

Boise State begins practice on Aug. 6 with high expectations after going undefeated last season and defeating TCU in the Fiesta Bowl.

That will probably make it look even more like a boggy pond for the ducks to break their necks on. Gag. Imagine playing every other year there : :mad: :mad: :mad:

They're good as a team and worth playing, no doubt, but that field is a monstrosity.

I don't think it was just the glare that was irritating people.

They're still wearing blue uniforms on a blue field. Maybe throw a little more orange into the ensemble so you can see the players and it won't be quite so terrible. And it looks like they're building a new track facility elsewhere, so maybe they can take care of that insult to college football as well.
