Wayne State's Adams Field is undergoing a major renovation that may give a boost to the recruiting of players for the football program. The university is installing FieldTurf, a synthetic playing surface that strongly resembles natural grass. A third of NFL stadiums and more than 30 major college programs now use the surface. Installation is underway and the field will be ready for the Warriors' home opener in early September. "We have looked at various turf options for nearly two years and the obvious choice for us was FieldTurf," said athletic director Rob Fournier. The article notes that Wayne State has experienced a "rebirth" under President Irvin D. Reid, and the Athletic Department is part of that renaissance.
