RE: Anyone changing up the look of their football field this year?
We are getting new turf after only 3 years. The turf company was doing routine cleaning and their chemicals had a bad reaction with the turf. It was bad enough they're replacing all of it.
OLD:

NEW:

Personally I like the old better. But maybe it's because the new looks like the previous design we had, which I didn't care a lot for.

I like the colors and 50 yard-line logo better in the new one. The "Golden" in the end-zone looks a bit odd though (size-wise and being over to the right)...almost like it was a last minute addition.

Memphis is adding a 55 yard line.

That gem is attributed to the play by play announcer

Yeah, the endzone is what I really dislike. Its like our previous design but with slightly better font.

A bit OT but I liked the UCONN football uniforms that just had the simple block C on the helmet.....I wish you would bring those back.

Mid-field logo at Yulman changed to the new, old logo:

Also, a large 3-D version is to be installed on top of the scoreboard, which will have some sort of water feature that mists or sprays on the student section after a touchdown.

A lot of UCONN fans agree. Edsall and our AD recently hinted towards having a throwback game this year with the block C helmets.

Do you prefer East Coast Broncos or Boise Lite?

Will the water have that distinct bourbon Street smell? It's not a true NOLA experience unless you feel the need to get tested, whether you scored or not

We're making a change to the scoreboard. Gonna have the home team have more points than the visitors.

For all September games (and majority of October) that will be a welcome relief from the heat.

That's a cool idea. I like it.

No turf change (I wouldn't mind a change in the endzone design, but that's nitpicking), but we're adding ribbon boards all the way around the stadium, adding 1,000 more chairback seats, and the IPF is scheduled to be completed by September.
