South Carolina was forced to replace their entire football field due to damage caused by a Jay-Z and Beyonce show last week.
Here are more details from ESPN:
South Carolina had planned for the possibility of such a changeout when Williams-Brice Stadium was picked as a stop for Jay-Z and Beyonce’s tour about 18 months ago, athletic director Ray Tanner said.
Concert crews needed about a week to set up the massive stage used for Tuesday night’s show. Coach Will Muschamp and his players were among the 40,000 or so who attended.
A hard cover was put over the field to protect it from wear and tear caused by construction of the stage and concertgoers.
