Eastern Washington’s New Red Turf

The Eastern Washington football team had their first football practice this past Friday on their new red Sprinturf field. Woodward field will be renamed Roos Field at a ceremony on Septemer 16th and then the first home game on the red turf will be played September 18th agasinst Montana. The new name is in recognition of former Eagle and current Titan Michael Roos and his wife Katherine for their $500,000 contribution to the project. The Smurf Turf has been a great gimmick for Boise State and the red turf should do the trick for Eastern Washington. Don’t stare too long at the new turf though because you will start to feel like your eyes are bleeding.
