USC playing on damaged field

A concert at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum will force USC to play this season on an uneven playing field which will be painted green on a weekly basis to hide numerous areas of dirt and dead spots.

L.A. Rising, a music festival featuring Rage Against the Machine, Muse and Rise Against, was held at the Coliseum on July 30, five weeks before USC's Sept. 3 season opener against Minnesota. The short window between events did not give the Coliseum enough time to replace the field, a process which normally takes six weeks. USC is now stuck with the field in its current condition until the end of the season.

The issue was raised during a meeting of the Coliseum Commission, the nine-member governing body of the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, which was attended by Kristina Raspe, USC's associate senior vice president of real estate and asset management.

"We did not find the condition of the turf to be acceptable," Raspe said. "After the concert that was held on July 30, the turf had substantial damage. There were multiple dead areas where there were fires on the field and having the field covered by boards for almost a week. The field was painted green no less than four times for it to appear the way it does today. I believe it was again painted today."

The benefits of either team winning just suck. I hope they go to 0-0 tie and then can't finish do to unforeseen circumstances.

Watching Matt Barkley I can't help but wonder how the fuck we lost at home to these guys his freshman year. I think it had something to do with us not scoring many points.

Wow, Utah just got ass raped on the ball spot on a 4th down completion. The dude is at least a half yard past the marker and they spot him short of it.

Replay better overturn this shitty call because it wasn't even close. That ball is over a yard short of where it should have been on the play.

Utah tries a tying FG, it gets blocked and fucking USC covers the spread by running it back for a TD.

FML :shake:

But the TD return is nullified by a sideline penalty. USC wins, Utah covers. :biggrin:
