Fans may remember that the field grass at Levi's Stadium had numerous issues with loose sod last season.
The 49ers are scheduled to have eight consecutive practices at Levi's Stadium.
Tim Kawakami of the Mercury News also pointed out issues with the field tonight.
Tomsula just fixed some of the big divots. The grass isn't holding up too well. pic.twitter.com/yjeeB6qcSN

And later from Matt Maiocco of CSN Bay Area...
49ers are scheduled to have eight consecutive practices at Levi's Stadium. The field is already pretty chewed up midway through this one.

And even later from Cam Inman of the Mercury News...
Levi's Stadium sod is pretty chewed up after prep all-star game and an hour to go in #49ers practice. Safety issue going forth?
