Except when the home team has a huge, blue mascot painted in the middle of their field! (As happened to us last week.)

Or when the game is played at Boise State.

Or Boise State.

I can't figure how blue bags are easier to see if you consider the percentage of the field that is white vs. green. Try to find a blue bag on a green field at night.

To me, it seems like a fad.

You know, I never really thought about blue being a problem at Boise State. I actually work up here in Boise, and we have several high schools that play on the blue. Luckly we use white bags.

Nothing wrong with fads. It adds color (pun intended) to our mundane lives

I bought my crew blue bags (2 each) as a crew gift. None of them read here, I don't think, so it'll be a surprise Friday night. Only cost me a game check.

I work in Eastern Washington, and we love the blue ones for snow games. I agree that on turf, it is easier to see the white.

As for it being a fad, perhaps some places. In our association, we love them for the visibility on snow.
