Red Turf Gets Overwhelming Approval from Eagle Players

Taiwan Jones likes the color, but at this point in the season -- less than a week away from the first game of the year -- he’s color blind.

The Eastern Washington University All-America running back and his teammates got a chance to practice for the first time Friday afternoon (Aug. 27) on Eastern’s new red Sprinturf field at soon to be re-named Woodward Field on the EWU campus in Cheney, Wash. Thanks to a $500,000 pledge made to the project by former Eagle and current Tennessee Titan Michael Roos and his wife Katherine, the field will officially be re-named Roos Field in a ceremony on Sept. 16.
