It's true the field is crap. It is made up of thousands of trays of grass about 4ft x 4ft and put together in mosaic form. Back in August our field crew was shipped to Houston to try to get the field ready for an exhibition game after their field crew manager quit at a moment's notice. Both stadiums are operated by SMG.

 

Our field crew went there and placed the trays together doing the best they could and at one point the management told our field crew it was good enough and they could go home. Our crew refused to go home until they believed the field was good enough for play and spent another 6 hours into the night working on it in an attempt to make it ready for the next day's game.

 

Clowney got his cleat stuck in one of the seams between the trays. That's how the injury occurred. It had nothing to do with conditioning.
