TOLEDO, OH - The University of Toledo football team will be playing on a brand-new field when the Rockets run onto the gridiron in the home opener vs. Maine in the Glass Bowl on Sept. 10. Installation of the new FieldTurf playing surface was completed last week.
Some UT's players got a chance to test out the new surface today and gave it their enthusiastic approval.
"It's nice, a lot different from the old turf," said junior quarterback Logan Woodside. "It's thicker and softer. It feels more like real grass. It's not as hard so I think that could help prevent injuries.
