TOLEDO, Ohio - 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. Western Kentucky in the Glass Bowl on Sept. 6. Installation of the new state-of-the-art FieldTurf CORE 2.5 playing surface, which began on March 10, was completed this week.
The new field features a multi-layer dual-polymer formulation for durability and a three-layer in-fill system for increased student-athlete safety. It is the same product used by the University of Notre Dame, as well as numerous NFL teams, including the Detroit Lions, Cincinnati Bengals and New England Patriots.
