Note: Boise State’s Bronco Stadium is known for its blue field color, or “Smurf Turf.” It was the first college stadium field to be any color other than traditional green, as well as the only college to have a non-green field for 22 years (1986-2008). Since 2009, three other colleges (Eastern Washington, Central Arkansas, New Haven) have installed non-green fields, but Boise State holds a trademark on the blue field.

The Utah Utes mascot is NCAA Division I pixel art mascot #34 of 347. Along with Colorado last week, Utah officially joined the Pac-10 Conference today and will be leaving the Mountain West Conference behind. Thus, we’ll call this Pac-12 mascot #12 of 12. (View reference images.)
