In this article, the funding statement was omitted and some data in the third paragraph in the "Total Injury Frequency and Severity" section on page 2492 was incorrectly reported. The funding statement and the corrected paragraph with the accurate demographic information are presented here.
The author has declared the following potential conflict of interest or source of funding: This research was partially funded by FieldTurf USA, Calhoun, Georgia.

As expected, upperclassmen received the majority of trauma on both playing surfaces. On padded fields, 288 injuries occurred to seniors (58.5%; IRR = 11.0; 95% CI, 10.7-11.5), 147 to juniors (29.9%; IRR = 5.7; 95% CI, 5.0-6.2), and 57 to sophomores (11.6%; IRR = 2.2; 95% CI, 1.7-2.7). On non-pad fields, 197 injuries were reported among seniors (65.0%; IRR = 5.0; 95% CI, 4.7-5.4), 78 among juniors (25.8%; IRR = 2.0; 95% CI, 1.6-2.4), 26 injuries were reported among sophomores (8.6%; IRR =0.7; 95% CI, 0.5-0.9), and 2 among freshman (0.6%; IRR = 0.1; 94% CI, 0.0-0.2). No injuries were documented among freshmen on surfaces with pads.
