49ers sparkling new Levi's Stadium sees field fail, new grass goes in

SANTA CLARA, Calif. - When the 49ers were getting ready to open their new $1.3 billion stadium, coach Jim Harbaugh compared the team's new field to the fairways at the famed golf course where the Masters tournament is played. The team and its partners billed the new grass as a super-resistant strain capable of withstanding the pounding of 300-pound linemen, saying divots would be "virtually nonexistent."
