Duke Debuts Brooks Field at Wallace Wade Stadium
9/16/2015 9:34:00 AM | Football
DURHAM, N.C. – Duke played its first home game inside a renovated Brooks Field at Wallace Wade Stadium on Saturday against N.C. Central. The Blue Devils welcomed a full capacity crowd of 33,941 to the contest against the Eagles.
Coach David Cutcliffe's Duke Football Show covered the renovation process and the first game inside the changed facility. Two of the highlights include the playing surface being lowered seven feet and the track removed. Installed as the new playing surface is an engineered bermudagrass Latitude 36 natural sod surface. The Latitude 36 began growing in June 2014 at the Precision Turf farm in Braselton, Ga., and was engineered at Oklahoma State. It is the same bermudagrass that NFL stadiums in Washington, D.C., Philadelphia and Nashville have.
Also new for this season is a LED video board in the south end zone. The board's viewing surface measures 42 feet high by 75.6 feet wide for 3,175 square feet of viewing space.
Duke (2-0) continues its four game homestand Saturday against No. 23 Northwestern (2-0). Kickoff is set for 12:30 p.m. ET on the ACC Network.
