I do, too, but I think orange is fine for this field.
Also: If money was no object, I would orient the field to the east side and move the TV cameras over there. Our stadium would look better on TV that way. (I assume moving the cameras over would cost some money in the form of retrofits to the indoor seating on that side.
Then you would be fighting the sun in the cameras for afternoon games. TV will stay where it is, but who knows what other pieces of the puzzle will move in the future.

TV booth has to stay on the west side. That is where the SID staff is located during the game. TV needs immediate access to the staff and to the replay officials on occasion.

My point is: Put all the relevant infrastructure on the east side, including a press box, a seat for Jason Knavel, etc.
The only I can think of that the TV booth would *have* to stay on the west side would be if the setting sun would make it impossible to televise our games. I'm have no idea if this would be the case.

I can think of a good way to fix that too

Talons up and we are BG are so lame! It's like our athletic department has absolutely no sense. Do we want to be like WE ARE MARSHAll? Pathetic we cannot think of something much better. Talons up? also pathetic and unimaginative. Makes me want to puke.

How tall would you make them? Railings running down the center of the aisle about shoulder height with the people sitting in that section...that should be OK
36 inches. The width of the aisles might limit their installation. Without looking, the ADA could be triggered depending on the alterations being made to the stadium.
