"And sometimes broken tablet pieces but I haven't had to do that my friend Tim over at Gillette stadium has." Lol

[@cleverusername9369]

It's unfortunate that this came out before a Super Bowl where the atrocious and dangerous condition of the field was the biggest story of the night. Someone is getting fired, if they haven't been fired by the time of my writing this.

[@PR_311]

The problem with that is: It is hard to find out who has to be blamed for it. Asfar as I know George Toma is responsible, from NFL side, and seemed to have prepared every Superbowl Field ever (he retired after last one, said that in advance). However the stadium had a history of slipping this season (Fiesta Bowl e.g, I think Chiefs had there problems early in the season too) so it could very well be that just the paint or grass they use sucks a lot, in which case they shouldn't fire anyone but replace where they get it from to have a better quality there

[@AlexM2299]

The Fiesta Bowl was terrible. One of the commentators had passed it off as saying something like “the NFL plays on these types of fields so it’s different for professional players vs college players” but after watching the Super Bowl, doesn’t seem like that was true at all.

[@PR_311]

@@AlexM2299 that seems like a lame excuse to say "I can't blame the stadium if I want to be here next year again". I just hope the Cardinals get a new greenkeeper & a better grass next season. Hope they, and every NFL team figures some consequences out of it. I mean it can happen for one game, somedays are just bad for the ground, but multiple time a season and in 2 bowl games? That's a big no.

[@AlexM2299]

@@PR_311 Agreed completely. Didn’t they say the grass they were using was a new type than they normally use? Was that comment referring to the grass just for the Super Bowl or in general for Arizona? I’ve been looking.

[@xsietube]

The stadium previously had Tifway 419 Bermuda grass, which is the standard turf for football. Four weeks before the Super Bowl, they ripped it all out and replaced with a newer breed called Tahoma 31, which is used on golf courses. (Source: ESPN) Bogus if you ask me

Excellent cleaning job..!! Thank you for the update, Insider..!!

[@alejandroarreola1216]

When they cleaned the circular brushes all the water goes to a regular drain? So it doesn’t get disposed to a reclining center? Looks like they are polluting the drains

[@chrismunz8127]

Of course it does. Its the US, what do you ecpect? Plastic fields, paint and chemicals to remove it.

[@matthewmosier8439]

​@@chrismunz8127 The U.S. is one of the most environmentally clean countries in the world. At least compared to the big red country that progressives seem to try very hard to never criticize.

[@wyatt8770]

It’s complicated actually, basically there is a massive sump under the wash pad (think kitchen grease trap) except instead of constantly discharging into the sewer all the time, it only releases water when it’s absolutely necessary to do so. Generally before that point, a local plumbing company will come out and suck the tanks dry and take the fluid to be recycled or properly disposed of. Not every manhole is a storm drain.

[@theplouf5533]

Thank you, I was looking for an incredibly effective solution to pollute a large amount of water in record time.

[@nnedi5971]

I've always wondered about this process. Thank y'all for showing it to me.

[@Davenport1992]

They turned the field into a slip n slide! Nice!

[@pepperypeppers2755]

This is from last year's super bowl

[@elscruffomcscruffy8371]

I really hope the actualy Players understand, acknowledge and appreciate the time and effort that goes into these aspects of the game

[@ronkali5365]

I know Steelers players do, i recall the NFL trying to force them to use artificial turf.Players spoke up about their ground crew and wanted grass to remain

[@KentaMaeda18]

The real question is how they made the Arizona field so slipery.

[@bruceboman9801]

Timing with irrigation.

[@annettemalaski1967]

The Arizona field is on a movable platform. The grass is let outside to get sun and it is watered. They overwartered it right before that Sunday game.

[@Method343]

Nice inside but I'm wondering about all those paint and chemicals... I'm not especially obsessed by sustainability but I'm curious to see the pollution from all this on the drain system and the water.

[@calcio23]

Seems like a waste of water and time. I thought they had pre-made end zones at least for the Rams and Chargers and blank ones to paint for the Super Bowl or any college games they may play there. I wouldn’t want to be around all of those chemicals spraying in the air either.

[@GabGotti3]

No disrespect but the groundskeeper in Soccer are on a whole other level. You just clean and paint. I wish the NFL was all grass.

[@shawnbarczak1766]

Thanks for the video! It was really great to see the process being done. Bothe removal and prep work. Thanks!

[@behrnik]

I've seen them do this live when I visited SoFi Stadium. If you get the chance, take the tour. It's freakin' awesome!

[@breal1183]

That's some hard work no doubt!!

[@natalieeis9284]

I wish they were wearing breathing face masks when handling paint and remover. It wouldn't surprise me if this stuff would cause problems years down the line.

[@codypeterson7166]

It's probably water based and the "solution" could be soapy water

[@timfischer]

Then they'll sue the chemical company.

[@SantaEnis]

@@codypeterson7166 actually water base paint is worse for your lungs because it’ll stay in the lung and the organism will not handle it as an „external threat“.

[@leora_in_london]

The NFL doesn't really seem to care about longterm health risks

[@chetsenior7253]

It’s generally an OSHA requirement.

Does removing the paint damage the filed at all? I could see it picking up a lot of the rubber pellets.

[@travellerdestiny]

Do they re use the water ?

[@stevenpellegrino997]

Cool video. I would think painting over the logo in green. Then putting a new logo over that would be quicker and cheaper. But it's of build up over time. Need to invent smart grass. So you just change a computer design. And then the turf can change colors to match the computer design 🤔🤔🤔😁😁😁 I I've near Cleveland Ohio. And did some work for a guy. His company makes the paint your putting on the field.

While interesting to watch, that's such a massive waste. I'm surprised the strands of fake grass aren't pre colored

[@Slpsii]

Seems like it would be more of a waste to use new turf everytime there’s a new game painting is also less expensive I’d imagine professional grade turf is expensive

[@fish_citizen]

@@Slpsii or they could just not change the turf at all???

[@Slpsii]

@@fish_citizen They use stadiums for other purposes, aka concerts, or things like monster jam.

[@Bubbwub215]

How do u find these kind of jobs , this is my dream job

[@curlyhairdudeify]

I always thought that the grass was real, and that the logos and stuff "painted" on the grass were CGI generated using the grass as a green screen from how "video game-y" get looked.

[@Desi365]

Interesting but was that real natural grass to begin with ?? Or hybrid turf ?

[@ronkali5365]

That's artificial turf

[@gcm747]

Despite everything that goes in to preparing a field, particularly for a Super Bowl, it’s pretty unthinkable that the field can be as bad as it was for SB 52. The field should never be a talking point consistently throughout any game much less influence the outcome of a Super Bowl.

[@Rushmore222]

You can guarantee it’s not being done correctly

why not have the endzone turf (if it's artificial) be the color that you want it to be rather than have it green and paint it/clean it all the time? then you just have to remove the logos instead of the entire endzone.
