The only truly horrible field was the Penn St. game where the Citrus Bowl attempted to put in new turf for the game only to be hit with below avg temperatures leading up to the game and heavy rain on game day.


They played high school championships and another bowl the week prior to our game. Some player blew his knee out badly in the other bowl game. Poor weather wasn't solely to blame for the problems. Overutilization of the stadium and poor planning (with NO contingencies) is what caused that cluster.

They have since made improvements to the field. Hopefully they've also made improvements to the stadium, surrounding area, and shuttle bus fiasco. I've been to nearly 20 bowl games and that one was (by far) the worst managed ever!

It is sunny and bright and 40 degrees...beautiful. The filed is awesome. The center of field was replace four weeks ago.

Field is not a concern in any way.


They just had a live preview on wafb's noon news from the stadium, and there isn't a cloud in the sky. It's beautiful weather there today. Field looks good.
