Eastern Washington begins installation of new red turf at Roos Field
UPDATED: Tue., July 21, 2020
New red turf was installed Tuesday at EWU’s Roos Field in Cheney, replacing its 10-year-old urf that helped boost the Football Championship Subdivision power’s national profile in 2010.
The $1 million to pay for the turf came from private funds – a donation from Spokane business owner and Cheney resident Jack Gillingham – to replace aging turf that hardened and faded over the years. EWU has a 55-10 record at “The Inferno” since its 2010 installation.
