Smurf Turf

Since we were just down the road in Boise, we wanted to get a picture of the famous (or infamous) blue football field at Boise State University. Their football team is a pre-season pick for national championship contention, so when they say their practice is closed to the public, they get pretty protective. We had asked a fellow about just getting a pic of the field, and he seemed to think if we did it quickly, it would be OK. As soon as we approached the glass observation area with our cameras, a couple of staff members exhibited concern, and one left the football field to "greet" us. We told him our story, and let us take one quick shot, and after a little less than cordial small talk, we were on our way. It seems like it would be a very fun place to watch a college game.
