BYU fans critical of quality of end zone’s royal blue paint job for Cincinnati game
For BYU’s Big 12 home opener against Cincinnati on Friday night, the school painted the end zones at LaVell Edwards Stadium on the field royal blue — coinciding with the team wearing an all-royal uniform combo.
In BYU’s previous two home games this season, the Cougars’ end zones were bare of paint, outside of a white painted B-Y-U.

While some applauded the royal blue look for the momentous night, other fans noted that the paint job appeared to have faded and worn out even before the game started.
Here’s a look at how fans shared their concerns about the paint job on social media:

Did BYU facilities use Walmart brand paint on the end zones??

Can we get a #paint sponsor the the field at #BYU? The paint quality is equivalent to freeway lane lines, while raining at night.
