State Farm Stadium

The NFL spent two years preparing this playing surface in State Farm Stadium for the Super Bowl, and it stinks.

Hopefully the investment has a much better result than what we’re seeing today. However, those— Scott Pioli (@scottpioli51) [https://t.co/X5BrffJLsn] [February 13, 2023] [https://t.co/ByAZZjX0Bp] [February 13, 2023] [https://t.co/ogNVaIRF1L] [February 13, 2023] One thing that has been hard to ignore is the frequency in which the players have had a hard time keeping their footing on the grass field at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz.

Players have slid and slipped all game, leading television announcers and fans watching at home to wonder whether the field is too slippery.

It’s possible the field did not dry out as it might have under normal game conditions. But players have slid and slipped all game, leading television announcers and fans watching at home to wonder whether the field is too slippery. That was no different this year at State Farm Stadium, home of the Arizona Cardinals.

It hasn’t seemed to hinder Hurts, becoming the first quarterback in Super Bowl history to have three rushing touchdowns in a game to tie the match at 35-35 with 5 minutes remaining on a two-point conversion. Another key moment in the first half saw Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker miss a 42-yard field goal, hitting the upright and missing with scores tied at 7-7, and appearing to slip on the painted Super Bowl logo as he made the kick. However, the abundance of NFL logos painted onto the field seem to be responsible for the players slipping over, with former Chiefs GM Scott Pioli noticing the size of the Super Bowl logos. Pioli said on Twitter that slipping over on painted areas of the field was “not uncommon on grass.” Despite the NFL spending $1.16m on developing a field for State Farm Stadium that took 11 months to grow, the surface for Super Bowl LVII was still remarkably not up to scratch, with Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes going down late in the first half with an ankle injury.

The playing surface at State Farm Stadium is once again being called into question. But this time it is for Super Bowl 57.

That gave them an opportunity to assess the field and what types of footwear would work best. “We’ve got to make sure it takes its time, cures and gets ready.” The grass was grown at a local sod farm in a process that began in May 2021.

The turf picked up, and I would tell you that did have something to do with it. He also said the field “is routinely ranked among the best — if not THE best — among NFL players, including in surveys conducted by the NFL (Players Association).” More: “It’s part of the Butker injury and the (Trent) McDuffie injury, and that’s unfortunate. That’s what happens sometimes when you re-sod,” Reid told the Associated Press.

The NFL had spent two years preparing the grass just for Super Bowl LVII, and it was installed two weeks ago.

Each morning, the grass had been rolled out to receive daily sunshine. Then Jerick McKinnon slid at the Eagles’ one-yard line to further run out the clock. Patrick Mahomes had a late 26-yard scramble on a bad ankle that resulted in him sliding to give his team optimal field position.

The field sits out in the Arizona sun on warm days and is brought back inside when it gets cold. “It’s not like we were playing on the on ice and they were playing on grass,” Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said. “I changed my cleats and right before the second half wore the different ones,” Goedert said.
