Although a terrible field sucks to play on for both teams, I dont think it makes them more prone to career ending injuries.

I would think that the lack of stable footing wouild allow the 'give' needed to not have ligaments tear prior to field tearing.

Now the unstable footing may lead to a few more tweaks and milder type sprains.

I make the comparison from the old astroturf stuff that had zero give versus newer field turf that has some forgiveness.

This field is unacceptable. I'm seriously concerned for the health of ALL players playing on that crap. Penn St. and LSU players alike.

College football should be embarrassed by that travesty of a field. I would rather see them play at a high school stadium that has safer conditions. Terrible.
