With the Super Bowl days away, we wanted to take a flashback to both of this year’s Super Bowl quarterbacks College Career’s. Oddly enough we have found that although both Manning and Brady have only played on FieldTurf during their professional football careers, their respective alma maters both installed FieldTurf in their football stadiums years after they both graduated.

Eli Manning’s alma mater, Ole Miss, first installed FieldTurf at Aught Hemingway Stadium in 2009, making Ole Miss the first team in the Southeastern Conference to play their home games on turf. In fact, just recently it was released that Ole Miss will now install FieldTurf in their indoor football practice field. Installation is scheduled to be completed before this seasons’ opener on September 19th.

Although Tom Brady graduated from University of Michigan in 2000, shortly thereafter FieldTurf was installed in “The Big House”, Michigan’s main football stadium, on July 20, 2003. After nine years, everyone is still pleased with their FieldTurf and how durable it has proven to be.
