FieldTurf Spreading

A year ago it was Dartmouth's Memorial Field having FieldTurf installed. The ubiquitous surface (say that three times fast!) is spreading faster than kudzu along a Georgia highway. ... The Manchester Union Leader writes about the artificial surface being installed right now at New Hampshire's Cowell Stadium, where the Wildcats will christen the field against Dartmouth on Sept. 22.

I haven't seen an official release on the FieldTurf work being done at Colgate, but it's mentioned unofficially all over the place including on this YouTube video that describes the work in progress:

Brown, of course, is installing two new FieldTurf practice fields, but I haven't seen anything about a new surface on the game field, which seems a little curious. Brown and Yale remain the only two schools on Dartmouth's schedule playing on the real thing. ...

I was surfing somewhere on the 'Net and came across a link to one of my old stories about football player/rugby player/musician John Turner '04. Most of my stories have either been taken down or never went up on the web, but I thought you might enjoy this one, so here's the link.
