Victoria's Secret assures IU it will pay for Dunn Meadow repairs

Victoria's Secret has assured IU that it will reimburse the University for repairs needed to Dunn Meadow after Thursday's concert featuring Cobra Starship and Girl Talk.

What once was a grassy field turned to mud when the concert ended and people began to leave, said Tyler DeLong, IU senior and International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees worker.

People, rain, trucks, forklifts and vehicles with large, knobby tires traveling across the field led to its destruction.

Workers started loading the equipment away as soon as the concert ended and continued into Friday afternoon.

However, the University doesn't know when the field will be fixed, said IU spokesman Larry MacIntyre.

The field “looks really devastated,” senior Nick Noel-Vourlas said.

The benefit concert put on by Victoria's Secret raised $5,000 for Middle Way house, an organization that provides shelter for victims of domestic violence. IU students also donated toiletries and cosmetics during the event.
