One theaory is that the football field in the middle is green, and the red off-sets the color, allowing athletes to notice when they are on one surface or another.
Also, I have seen several outdoor facilities with blue tracks.
harvard's indoor track is red/orange/brown.
Our indoor and outdoor tracks are both red.
Our indoor track is invisible.
Drake's outdoor track is blue.
Millrose is red brown.
Millrose is red brown.
Compton H.S. has a blue outdoor track.
So does Cerritos College.
In Kansas, Texas, Delaware, New Jersey, and Florida the indoor tracks are red and the outdoor tracks are black or dark blue, unless the tracks are located within certified green counties which make up a substantial percentage. The indoor tracks of California, Utah, and Maine are dark orange and sometimes redish blue. Outdoor tracks of those states are coal black which with time will turn a silvery blue-green. All other states not mentioned are not within any color specification code and can paint there tracks with whatever and whomever color they please.
I have been on outdoor tracks of all shades of red, plus black, blue, gray, and brown. Indoor tracks I have run on have been black, red, blue, and gray. I see no pattern to it.
I think they'll make them in just about any color you want, especially mondo.
90% of world class outdoor races are on red tracks. 80% of world track indoor races are on blue ones.
Why?
Roses may be red,
Violets may be blue.
some outdoor tracks are red,
some indoor ones are to.
