Super Bowl 2023: What kind of grass does State Farm Stadium have? (AS English)

When the field is moved out on a large tray, the stadium becomes an arena that can be used for other non-football-related events.

The grass is moved out on a daily basis for a blast of sunshine and at 6pm is rolled back in to protect it from the cold temperatures overnight. Kickoff at 4:30 [MST], like it or not, so we have to be ready.” It takes approximately 60 minutes to move the field in and out of the stadium. Tahoma 31 is a hybrid of two types of Bermuda grasses and rye grass and was developed at Oklahoma State University and monitored by Dr. Yanqi Wu, who started the process of creating it in 2006. “With that extra pressure comes extra things that we need to do,” Mangan says.

The NFL has said the roof will stay open [if the weather allows for it](https://go.redirectingat.com?id=66960X1516590&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Ftheathletic.com%2F4139460%2F2023%2F01%2F31%2Fsuper-bowl-2023-eagles-chiefs-state-farm-stadium%2F&referrer=sbnation.com&sref=https%3A%2F%2Fdknation.draftkings.com%2F2023%2F2%2F12%2F23412902%2Fsuper-bowl-2023-weather-state-farm-stadium-will-the-roof-be-open-or-closed-chiefs-vs-eagles), and there’s no reason to think the weather won’t allow for it. The Mountain Time kickoff means it should still be in the low 60s by the time the game ends. The 4:30 local time kickoff helps, but even if the game were starting at 6:30 p.m. Given the location outside Phoenix, the winter weather is going to provide more opportunities than not for the roof to be open. No precipitation expected during the game with 73 degrees at kick and temps dropping into the upper 50s [pic.twitter.com/BaMFoqTogD] [February 12, 2023] [Accuweather](https://www.accuweather.com/en/us/glendale/85301/hourly-weather-forecast/331843) is projecting a kickoff temperature around 76 degrees. Add in that it’s located in Mountain Time, and the earlier start provides even more reason to keep the roof open.

The NFL changing its process to take better care of its field is needed for next season’s finale. A few players for both the Chiefs and Eagles have slipped on the playing surface, more than what happens in a usual NFL game.

While going for natural grass for a game of this magnitude is a good idea, it’s clearly been poorly executed. Numerous players have slipped on the natural grass field at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, AZ, and several fans online have noticed throughout the game. That’s right, instead of using synthetic turf, they opted to go with a national grass setup at State Farm Stadium.

Is State Farm Stadium Turf Or Grass? Story Behind Unique Super ... (NBC Chicago)

The playing conditions in Super Bowl LVII between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles raised some questions.

The NFL had spent two years preparing the grass just for Super Bowl LVII, and it was installed two weeks ago. [slipped dangerously](https://twitter.com/AryePulliTSP/status/1624957959984885760) on a kickoff that could’ve ended badly for his left ankle. Toma, 94, is a groundskeeper who has prepared every single Super Bowl, 37 Pro Bowls and multiple World Series, among other fields. 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.

While there isn’t a definite answer as to why the field was slippery, it certainly contributed towards the players’ ability to perform. “It’s not like we were playing on ice and they were playing on grass. [Eagles’ James Bradberry owns up to pulling the jersey in the Super Bowl. “Once again, it had no reason for the outcome of the game. It was just adjusting to slippage that was going on.” The grass is grown at a local sod farm in Phoenix, meaning it was likely harvested into rolls. We all had to play on it...Same thing if you had to change a game plan or change a play, or whatever you had to do. [In an all-time great Super Bowl, the Eagles weren’t good enough. Growing and installing the turf cost $800,000. It was things we did that lost us the game. Still was slipping, so I don’t know. GLENDALE, Ariz.
