When I bought my bag, the place I bought it from was out of the vinyl bags in blue, so I had to settle for some type of cloth.

I'll probably pick up a vinyl one next time I buy equipment.
Just out of curiosity, why do you need a blue bean bag?

Sorry, I did not realize you were in Canada. I was not trying to "criticize," I was just wondering.

Also, I am from Erie, PA, and we average around 100 inches of snow per year, so I am well aware of the difficulty in finding a white bean bag in the stuff.

I am seeing more and more HS officials use blue bean bags. I think that the officials manual should be modified as it states that white bean bags should be used. Down here in south Georgia if we get snow they will probably call the game, so looking for a white bean bag would not be a problem. However, you have answered my question as to why the pros used blue bags.

They work well on articfial turf as well (the old AstroTurf, not the newer kind). They're hard to see on a good natural grass field.

If I ever do a game at Smurf Field, not only will I use a white bean bag, I'll paint my vinyl one and bleach the cloth one
