The Field of Jeans' sod is no good.

For 1.2 billion, you think they would have done better.



According to a report from Comcast SportsNet, crews spent the entire day Thursday re-sodding the field after players complained of safety issues:

The 49ers were forced to end practice early Wednesday after players were slipping or tearing divots into the ground. Wide receivers Bruce Ellington and Stevie Johnson each fell when running routes, and the coaches were forced to move away from dangerous chunks in the turf multiple times. Eventually, coach Jim Harbaugh chose to cut practice short rather than risk injury.

“The 49ers organization would like to apologize to any fans who were inconvenienced by today’s practice ending early," team spokesman Bob Lange said in a statement, per Matt Barrows of The Sacramento Bee. "We have determined the appropriate measures necessary to have the field ready for Sunday and look forward to hosting the San Diego Chargers."
