2009. Because, as everybody knows, there's water on the moon.
Also very (in)famous pictures of Dean himself applying the water.

2000 was gray. I watched that one at Nationals that year. Gray can look tan/cream in the right lighting. (I summon... The TechnoKat History Project!) (Note that there are some field photos that look tan/cream under game lights, but when people are on the field it's gray.)

1997 shows up as gray as well--reference the 1997 archive from the TechnoKats History Project.

1993, gray--do I need to say where to find photos again?


Taylor, sorry, I was referring to INTENDED use of H2O. Christopher got that part right. Some of the balls in 1993 had water in 'em.

Hardly- the water was completely contained within the balls. If you watched the game, you'd never know.

Looks like a driver's station.

IIRC during a kickoff one year (2010?) they showed pictures of the GDC prototyping the game; I remember the experimental field being gray (as it's probably used for protoype field elements, not the actual full field).

So no, IMHO, not an actual hint.
