With April Fool’s Day on everyone’s minds, Oregon decided to capitalize on this moment and have some fun with it. They caught some people.
When April 1st rolls around, everyone is often posting photos of fake sonograms, silly announcements or fake news. If you’re Oregon, you make sure to fool those and fool them good. They went all out and it looked legitimate till you read between the lines.

“Already known for having one of the best uniforms and facilities in college football, the field has now become an extension of the Oregon brand. The new field will feature a unique design each week as an extension of the uniform palette,” Oregon’s release says. “The LED field can also be programmed to provide unique field celebration graphics on first downs and touchdowns, as well as delivering crowd prompts.”
Oregon must’ve fooled many but they didn’t fool us! However, it did fool many on Twitter.
