Victoria’s Secret to pay Dunn Meadow repairs

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

What was once a grassy field turned to mud after the concert, 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 they continued into Friday afternoon.

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

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.
