*uhh uhmmmm* Beantown Blitz had an official "green" carpeted field


Every (official) field I saw this year used the green carpet everyone is talking about. Personallly I liked the slight hint of color as opposed to a bright, turf like, green. Colors are a very funny thing, ask anyone who has ever painted a room in their house. What may seem like a good idea ends up being way too dark or too bright very quickly. If FIRST went to fields that were brightly colored, it could get pretty distracting. I think the way they went this past year was perfectly fine.
