— Amber Ungaro (@AmberUngaroWSMV) May 19, 2014 Austin Peay’s football stadium has a 40-foot sinkhole in its end zone
It’s the simple story of a small hole that became a VERY big one.
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
Something fearsome lurked under the corner of Austin Peay’s end zone, and there was no telling what it could be... until now.
A 40-foot sinkhole opened when construction crews began work on what was believed to be a much smaller hole, according to The Leaf Chronicle. Initially three feet wide, it was excavated and found to be its current size. Now it’s a matter of back-filling and preparing the playing surface for the fall.
Could it be Godzilla? No, no it couldn’t -- but that’s a heck of a lot better than calling it a “Peay hole,” now isn’t it?

Apparently, sink holes are very popular. One more thing that we have that Murray does not... List goes on!
