You couldn't fit CORNHUSKERS in there while making it look....how should I say, uh, good.

I think the two-tone turf was cool, but I think the novelty kind of wore off. It also represents one of our worst periods on the field. I think anything remotely associated with Callahan should be shunned 
Pick the darker green of the two and go with that.
I'd also be in favor of red end zones... or maybe some other variation. I remember the "HUSKERS" end was always white outlined in red for the longest time, then they flipped it to match the "NEBRASKA" end. I also think they could put a helmet or a B1G logo or something else in one of the end zones, like they do in the Super Bowl.

I disagree, if you can fit INDIANAPOLIS in an endzone and make it look nice you can certainly fit CORNHUSKERS in. And just as my illustration showed. But don't take my word for it.

The reason it works in Indy is because their font has a very high vertical stretching. It would not work at Nebraska because we use a specific block font in which the letters are particularly square-sized, not tall rectangles. Hypothetically, we could shrink it to fit, but then you'd have to shrink the "NEBRASKA" end to match, and it wouldn't take up it's maximum real estate.

Yeah, what this guy said.... On another note, Lucas Oil Stadium is among my favorite....Love the "fieldhouse" feel...I disagree, if you can fit INDIANAPOLIS in an endzone and make it look nice you can certainly fit CORNHUSKERS in. And just as my illustration showed. But don't take my word for it.

The font can be thinned out, tweaked, or just changed. It can be made smaller as well. I see no problem with any of this and people who have skill in graphic design would have no problem coming up with something.
It doesn't look bad anyhow to have more "real estate" on the Nebraska side anyway:

We just gave up 70 and 45 points respectively to end the year. I feel if we get this endzone thing hashed out, everything will be A-ok.

Using the official University font, these are the two main options, and that's only taking up as much of the end zone as possible:

Not seeing anything here.Using the official University font, these are the two main options, and that's only taking up as much of the end zone as possible:
But, usiing the current font is fine, just make it smaller, it doesn't need to be painted on the field for the visually impaired. No reason it has to go from goal line to the out of bounds lines all the way around. I don't mind doing that as it is now because it puts the most amount of color in the endzone. But if the endzone is red, you can make it work.
