Last year, Ross-Ade Stadium had a bit of a makeover with the new stadium lights. This year, the changes within the 94-year old stadium are not as drastic, but you might notice them if you look closely enough. Perhaps the most noticeable change is to its field design:
Your eyes are not deceiving you, those are railroad tracks painted along the sidelines in the north end zone. This may be one of the most creative paint jobs in all of college football, and I love it. We’re all familiar with blue, red, and gray fields, but I have yet to see creative sideline designs within college football, especially among P5 schools.
