University of Toledo's Glass Bowl gets new NFL playing surface

The University of Toledo has turned into an NFL talent incubator in recent seasons.

Now the Rockets will have an NFL-worthy field.

The playing surface at the Glass Bowl is currently undergoing a million-dollar overhaul. When the month-long project is completed, Toledo (and its opponents) will play on FieldTurf CORE 2.5, the same product used by the Detroit Lions, Cincinnati Bengals, Atlanta Falcons, and a handful of other NFL teams.

“If you want to play in the NFL, if you want to feel like you’ve had every opportunity to prepare for that, I think this field does that and more,” UT athletic director Bryan Blair said.
