Central Arkansas to install purple-and-gray artificial turf

Taking a page out of the Eastern Washington University playbook, the University of Central Arkansas is installing colored turf.

But not just one color. Instead they are opting for a purple and gray turf.


And after seeing the Eagles of Eastern Washington go undefeated at 8-0 on "The Inferno" of Roos Field and then ride that momentum onto a National Championship it's no surprise that Central Arkansas is making this move.

Central Arkansas also plays at the FCS level in football as part of the Southland Conference. Last season the Bears finished 4-3 in conference play and 7-4 overall.
