After installing a cheaper, competing turf product they decided to remove it an install FieldTurf shortly after 5 years of use. “The preexisting turf was installed in 2001, and caused problems from the get-go. It didn’t last as long as it should have. My crew was tired of taking needle and yarn onto Hancock Stadium to sew the seams and put the turf back. When a wide receiver would run out patterns, hit foot would go out of the seam. So from a safety standpoint, we had to do something.”
- Robb Vassely, Assistant Athletic Director for Facilities at Illinois State University, on the replacement of their previous artificial turf field with FieldTurf in 2007
