College football field damaged by heavy rain 2 weeks before home season opener
Anyone who has lived in Dallas, Texas knows the weather can be unpredictable.
It’s hard to imagine the SMU grounds crew expecting an all hands on deck situation less than two weeks before their home season opener against Lamar, but that’s just what they are getting. Images of Gerald Ford Stadium show a substantial amount of water buildup around the 15-yard line.
Just a slight issue for a venue about to host a college football game, no big deal.

The Dallas area has been experiencing heavy rainfall the past few days that caused the football sized water buildup under the turf.
The Mustangs could host a game at one of Dallas’ famously huge high school football stadiums if the problem cannot be sorted out before Sept. 10.
