The nearly $1 million grass is not cutting at the Super Bowl.
The Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs are playing each other in Super Bowl LVII. They’re both battling the field, which is a disaster at State Farm Stadium.
Players have been slipping all game and about a half dozen Eagles players changed their cleats at halftime, the FOX broadcast said.
The broadcast showed tens of grounds crew members working on patching divots in the field after Rihanna’s halftime show. It also aired a shot of a pile of cleats on an equipment trunk on the Philadelphia sideline.
No Chiefs players reportedly changed their cleats at halftime.
State Farm Stadium has a retractable field made up of Tahoma 31 natural grass. The retractable feature is to allow for several different types of events at the venue and sits on 13 “railroad-like tracks.” It takes about 70 minutes to roll out the field.
