Duke's April Fools' Day Photo of Blue Football Field Excites CFB Fans
Duke tried to get one over on fans by posting an April Fools Day prank saying the university was installing a blue football field.
Fans didn't fall for it.
However, they may have fallen in love with the concept.
The fan reaction to the "announcement" was overwhelmingly positive—enough that Duke officials may want to consider actually making the move.
Of course, there are two major issues with the potential switch: cost and Boise State. Cost can be mitigated.
Boise State, however, would likely be a major—and potentially expensive—hurdle. The school received a federal trademark on blue field turf in 2011 and has claimed a common-law trademark right to any non-traditional colors.
While Boise State has typically been open to allowing other schools to put colorful turf on their field, an all-blue look might receive some pushback.
As it stands, it's just a joke so no harm no foul.
