Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio and athletic director Mark Hollis were given a piece of old turf from Spartan Stadium before the rest of the field was destroyed by last month's U2 concert. Sports turf manager Amy Fouty, overseeing installation of the new turf Tuesday, said another piece of the old turf eventually will be added to the new field. As for the turf she gave Dantonio and Hollis, she said they would have to continue watering it "and trim it with scissors."
