Water line break causes sinkhole at Purdue football field

It's a good thing the Purdue football team isn't playing at home next Saturday.

A main water line break over the weekend flooded the field at Ross-Ade Stadium and caused a sinkhole in one of the end zones.

The flooding went from the South End Zone patio area to midfield, causing a nightmare for the grounds crew at Purdue. The flooding was discovered by the school's turf manager on Monday.
