I am skeptical. That's a big dang hole to fill in at great expense. From the article:
"The company declined to comment about the newly filled-in quarry."

Bloomington mayor was quoted that it's true in IndyStar. Said he was unpaid extra in the film, so must be true.

Still plenty of short-but-steep hills thereabouts.

They did it to stem the Cutters vs College Boy violence, which is still out of hand all these years later.

The quarries west of Columbus that I used to frequent in '76/'77 while attending Ohio State have been filled in or reclaimed as well... BITD, there was nothing but farms and a few quarries near the river. No buildings other than farms out west. Now that entire area west of the Scioto River and north of I-70 where I used to go riding have been turned into housing developments, industrial parks or golf courses.
