49ers: Turf at Levi’s Stadium Continues to Be a Problem

Turf issues are among the most notable of complaints surrounding the San Francisco 49ers’ relatively new home at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara.

“They’re going to roll it and work it all night, but we’re not going to come out if it’s not good.” – head coach Jim Tomsula

Prior to the stadium’s debut in 2014, the field suffered a number of problems that forced then-head coach Jim Harbaugh to pull his players off the field and use the neighboring practice facilities instead.

A 100-yard stretch of surface was then ripped up and replaced during the preseason that year per Mike Rosenberg of the San Jose Mercury News.
