I wondered if they were ever going to address this.

 

I thought they would close the grassy knoll until this got fixed but it just kept getting worse every year.

They've had that portable barrier up between the hill & the field for a couple years now, right?  Looks silly.  I hope this gets corrected quickly, it's been too long & looks ridiculous.

Too bad there is no one to blame but our own university for the deterioration at the track!

Several of the photos of concrete in the story reminded me a little bit of the Rubber Bowl.

Ah, the good old days.

It's hardly surprising. They were pouring concrete in January and February to get work done in time for first season.

Is pouring in Jan/Feb the cause?  I could see the problems, but the interview didn't really address what had been done wrong.  So, how much needs to be fixed?  I imagine that the problems that can be seen are just the tip of the iceberg.

It would be surprising if the work was done correctly.  There is nothing unusual about  pouring concrete at that time of year. They just add antifreeze to the mix.
