“This Grass Is Trash”: 730 Days of Toil, Blood and Sweat in Vain as $800K Field Misses the Mark in Majestic SB Final

The Super Bowl is the most-watched game of every season by fans across the globe. The best two teams of the league go head to head with millions of fans watching them. Alongside that, the halftime show has become the most anticipated segment of the game. As the final showdown of the season morphed into the biggest spectacle, the league has invested more into it with every passing year.

A look at the grass inside State Farm Stadium proves just that. A thread on the field’s maintenance had the NFL world stunned beyond belief. Here’s a look at the hard work and incredible attention to detail.

The Super Bowl field underwent an expensive process

Joe Pompliano, who has garnered quite the following on Twitter, is known for his informative tweets that showcase the intersection of sports and business. Pompliano took to Twitter to share the fact that the league spent the last two years meticulously preparing the grass that was on the field during Super Bowl LVII.

According to ESPN, high-quality grass is better adapted to cold, drought, wear, and disease. The effort that was put into the grass for the Super Bowl is exceptional, costing a whopping $800,000.

Pompliano’s thread on Twitter also described the other intricacies of the project.

But, despite all the effort, the NFL world was unimpressed. After witnessing players slipping time and again during the big game, here’s what they had to say.

The NFL world was not happy with the results

With millions watching the most anticipated game of the season every year, the margin for error on the management front is very small. After witnessing the stars from the Chiefs and Eagles slip on the field during Super Bowl LVII, fans aren’t sold on the idea of the supposedly ‘high-quality’ grass. They remarked on the poor field conditions. During the live broadcast, commentators noticed instances that almost resulted in injuries from slipping. For a game as big as the Super Bowl, bad field conditions are not something players should have to worry about. The stir caused in the NFL world may perhaps lead the league to look more into how the situation can be improved.
