Possibly the first public problem with FieldTurf, a “phenomenal amount of rain” was pushed under the turf by winds.  Indiana isn’t sure if they can replace it, according to the IndyStar article, and if they do have to replace it, it could cost up to $1 million.

“When it got down to (the south end), part of the turf just collapsed like one of those landslides you see in California where the foundation just goes out from under it,”  said Indiana AD Rick Greenspan.

I’ve never seen anything like this, and if you are like me, you love real grass.  It’s great for schools because it supposedly “doesn’t cost money,” but football was meant to be played on grass.
