Crews started pulling up the turf Thursday at Indiana Memorial Stadium, the main step in replacing the flood-damaged theme.

Heavy rain that caused across much of central and southern Indiana on June 7 washed out the gravel foundation underneath the bone of contention lea, going away a sinkhole in the south end zone and throughout the side of the arena.

Athletic sector spokesman J.D. Campbell definite Thursday that school officials had unmistakable to replace the domain and that niceties would be released in the coming days.

Athletic leader Rick Greenspan has said it cost as much as $1,000,000 to replace the province. At least part of the cost is expected to be enclosed by cover.

Greenspan said it routinely takes three to four weeks to install new turf, although Campbell did not say when the project was predictable to be completed.

The Hoosiers need to have the discipline in structure before their Aug. 30 time of year starter against Western Kentucky. Memorial ring is also scheduled to be used for a domestic drum and sound off service competition in mid-August.
