University Of Phoenix - Moving field

the field at the University Of Phoenix is stored outside, and is moved into the stadium two days before the game. Here it is, en route to the stadium.

[@AustinBeal1]

Most players prefer playing on real grass. Having a dome stadium with no weather elements to worry about and the luxury of playing grass as well is really a unique thing. I applaud the minds that designed this.

[@pkohighlights4492]

Lol someone should find the button and move the field outside while game is being played

[@yanksfan43]

Pavalonon lol great halftime joke!!!! Lmao

[@jessek8414]

yes lmfao

[@craigresnianky6909]

It takes hours to move the field, correct?

[@CompletelyRandomAndUnknown]

@@craigresnianky6909 no, about 15 min

[@MikeySkywalker]

Hahahahahaha I don't why but that had me laughing out loud....

[@pdft40cal]

Love the Bender.

Can't wait to go there and watch the Univ. of Phoenix football team next season.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@FunWithMemesFunWithMemes]

Who else is here because the Raiders are about to have a retractable field in Vegas?

[@Rocky_Intertidal]

0:51 when you have a retractable football field, always make sure that it is installed with a "Heavy Duty Safety Switch!"

[@hectornajar5835]

I've been there 7 times but never knew that it was moveable

[@vinceangelo8184]

Cool video ❤

[@phillyhottest]

The point is to have an INDOOR - Natural Grass field. It goes outside to grow and inside to play.

[@hardcorehouse]

Thank u, captain obvious.

[@kidzbop38isstraightfire92]

Yes Joey, that is the point. You nailed it bro

@@phillyhottest lol we're just kidding with ya man, no hard feelings

[@flawlessgaming7827]

Did some simple math, says field averaged approx 10 feet per second (7 mph) Find that a little hard to believe. It needs to move about 400-500 feet so it should technically take less than a minute. Also you can tell by your eyes it is not moving 7 mph lol

[@kingwacky184]

+Flawless Gaming I think it is suppose to be 0.7 mph and whoever posted the video entered the info incorrectly.

[@pittman1162]

Flawless Gaming well if u goes 10 yards a minute and a football field is 100 yards so that would be 100 minutes witch is 1 hour 40 minutes. If anything it would be more then 1 hour 40

[@jhgillmd]

Ten minutes, you mean.

[@StatsMass]

(360 feet in a football field including endzones/5280 feet per mile)/(1hour+40min/60mins per hour)=0.04mph

[@austind2617]

I did the same quick math and said “if it was going 7 mph for an hour it would have went … well 7 miles! But that’s obviously NOT a 7 mile difference”

[@wserejo]

Awesome !!!

[@theonecheetah7923]

"Avg speed: 7 mph" my ass. I could crawl faster than that thing.

[@litsportsclips4725]

Harambe then you can crawl 8mph

[@Dang000]

It's is real grass, usually domes have tuf, it is a better playing surface and it is safer for the players.

[@danijel208ID]

@jerryheilman It's also for the Arizona Cardinals. BTW a superbowl game has been played there few years ago also the Fiesta Bowl has also been played at that stadium

[@N8veJay]

Go Cardinals!!! Grass > Turf

[@moronmonkey1]

Yes. Grass is so much better

[@lightningstruck93]

Heard a little rumor than the supplier for the gearboxes to move it, didn't fill them with oil, resulting in every single gearbox having to be replaced..

[@terencelo9565]

We need one in HK. Lau Kongg Wahh is offering HKD 60 million for the first 3 unsuccessful bidders. Bring your design and change the name to Kai Tak Stadium.

[@rswan5]

I can see a renovated Oakland O.Co Coliseum with this (that, and retractable bleachers).

This is so cool. Go Cardinals!

dat shid go hard thats the most smartest thing i ever saw

[@StellarFella]

San Diego should do this, but have about THREE fields that move out and sideways for both soccer and football. And for other field sports too like rugby, La Crosse, and field hockey.

[@MsTokies]

do you have more then one type of field? like a baseball field or something like that?

[@CJbrinkman602]

No

[@AuraHero]

They'll host other big events in there when they don't play football, like a few years ago they hosted Wrestlemania. Plus, the grass field can't survive inside the stadium all the time, so they roll it out so it can grow properly.

[@perceive8159]

Cool! Who had the deep pockets to pay for that👀

Is it the same stadium for soccer and basketball?

[@roudyman777]

No. This stadium is in Glendale, a little west of Phoenix. The Suns have an arena right in the middle of downtown Phoenix where they play basketball.

[@4exgold]

yep, dont think anyone's gonna get runover by a football pitch anytime soon

[@sk8bordmylesP]

if it malfunctions, do they have the game outside??

[@roudyman777]

That's why they move it 2 days before games, so they have time to fix any potential malfunction.

[@Crusader1815]

So how much did this toy cost?

[@roudyman777]

Idk but the NFL surely can afford it

[@cagedtigersteve]

How does University of Phoenix have a team?

[@StellarFella]

The University of Phoenix is not a physical campus. They are an online university only. They paid the stadium to be named after them. They do not have any sports teams. The NFL Phoenix Cardinals use the stadium to play their home games. The name Phoenix is just a coincidence.

[@michaelsheets8194]

what a big task to do every home game

[@jegersej894]

only 8 of them. like not really. it is pretty cool though. besides that other teams have people taking care of the field any way. and as it says it only takes an hour and 40 min

[@StellarFella]

Not really. It takes only 65 minutes.

[@Dreaklock]

Why is the field like this?

[@MasFutbolHoy]

To play soccer.

[@StellarFella]

To move outside to absorb maximum hours of sunlight each day AND to be out of harm's way when alternate events are held inside the stadium.

[@gKits]

I dont get the point of that Just WHY? Isn't it the same if they just have the field in the stadium instead of outside of it?

[@zak00101]

Different kinds of Arenas for different activities. In a manner that music shows or mud related activities doesnt kill the grass sports activities.

[@zak00101]

If you make rock concerts you kill the grass. Leave it outside for the tomorrow soccer match.

[@pbkayakyer]

The point is that natural grass is a FAR BETTER field to play on than any astroturf field. But aside from that fact, the ultimate goal of any team is to put butts in the stands. Arizona is hot as hell and you aren't going to sell out the stadium if folks have to sit in 115 degree heat for 4 hours. So, they created the best of both worlds.

[@Lacrossefan1213]

could not have said it better myself, the advantage of a grass field for the nfl game that is inside a controlled environment in the intense arizona heat, and one that you can move outside giving you endless options for other entertainment and expidites the change over tremendously

[@StellarFella]

SUNLIGHT!!!SUNSHINE!!!SUNLIGHT!!!SUNSHINE!!!Fields remaining inside a stadium are robbed from MANY HOURS OF SUNLIGHT each day.Natural Bermuda grass needs plenty of sunlight to stay thick and healthy.Keeping the field out of harm's way OUTSIDE the stadium frees up the interior space for a whole range of alternate events that would otherwise harm the natural grass field.

[@zak00101]

What is the real pourpouse of this retractile floor?

[@robertomerino3149]

It is there so it can be switched for the ocassion like of ther is a futball match then they can put a field in or if it is like a monster truck course or a derby they can put dirt.

[@BIGMANLOGJAM]

It's overflow parking for UFO's.

[@zak00101]

+Roberto Merino thanks Roberto. I didnt remember that kind of shows or activities. I thought that this stadium was only for soccer, hockey or other grass sports.

[@zak00101]

+BIGMANLOGJAM Funny

[@robertomerino3149]

zak00101 Np in Arizona the hockey stadium is actually very close to this stadium.

[@will2993]

what the hell, its arizona. why isnt the stadium just an outdoors stadium??

[@will2993]

oh good point!

[@mattbogoshian4769]

Too hot during the beginning of the year

[@rodentkyle]

The field being outside also enables them to have other inside where the only have to cover the rails instead the whole field. Idk for sure but id assume they have monster truck/dirt bike races/rallies, concerts/wrestling etc.

[@Acu48]

+rodentkyle no the field is outside because it is grass not turf. The grass needs light

[@lcmark]

+Acu48 For both reasons I think.

that stadium is just for a college team? the amount of money in American sport is incredible.

4exgold it's the name of the sponsor. It's the NFL Arizona Cardinals stadium

[@4exgold]

Kyle899 you mean the University sponsors the stadium or the Cardinals team itself? I dont understand

[@jasch4034]

4exgold stadium

[@jasch4034]

But the Arizona cardinals play in this stadium

[@Beltran15x]

University of Phoenix doesn't have a football team. They are mainly an online University(Phoenix Online) with mini campuses around the US. So they absorb a lot of money because of low expenses. As a state school they have to spend it to be non profit. Most schools spend it on sports and buildings.

[@jerryheilman]

This is for flipping university, Fail!

[@thegamingenderman]

Jerry Heilman This isn't for a University it for the NFL Arizona Cardinals football team. The University just has the naming rights

[@scorpiogirl7330]

shut the fuck up the stadium has been built and it's our stadium and we are proud of it.

[@w67bv2cxm]

Why is it that, when I see ads for the "university" of Phoenix, the Donald Trump "university" instantly comes to mind ? And, *_why don't I ever_* see billboards advertising _actual_ private (but non-profit) _universities_ like Stanford, Harvard, Caltech, Yale, USC, Columbia, MIT, Washington university, Cornell, Brown, etc. ? And why, when there are _SO MANY_ *_excellent_* public universities like UCLA, Berkeley, UT Austin, UC San Diego, etc., that we _don't EVER_ see mass-marketing by those reputable institutions ? Why don't _real_ universities put up ridiculous, lurid billboards and carry out sleazy, embarrassing marketing campaigns to flog what they're trying to sell ? Could it possibly be because about 90% of people in the U.S. understand that the non-profit _real_ universities I listed provide an invaluable public good at a relatively low cost, and 90% of the U.S. public _knows it_ and these excellent institutions _don't need_ to advertise ? Could it be because *_the difference_* between a good, public or recognized private university and things like the "university" of Phoenix are like *_the difference_* between _chicken salad_ and _chicken shit,_ and most people know that too ? And why doesn't the 10% of the U.S. population who falls for these sorts of for-profit scams know that they're being fleeced ? Are they just stupid ? Are they so stupid that they don't understand that, if they are in the lowest 10% of the U.S. population in terms of general knowledge of the world, then it wouldn't matter if they had a PhD in Physics from Caltech or an M.D. from Harvard _it wouldn't do them any good, because their stupidity would doom them to fail in life anyway ?_ Huh ? Please, somebody.... 'splain me THAT.

Nobody cares fuck face. Do you think anyone watching a video about Arizona's football field really gives a shit about your obsession with some fucking online school? Go protest if it makes you feel better.
