Juddley Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I heard that they are not putting in a new field for the Super Bowl after the Pro Bowl. Are there any pictures of the Pro Bowl field? And what will they do to eliminate all of the markings in time for the Super Bowl? Curious to see if anyone knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDixonDesign Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 If they dont put in a new field, they'll repaint the field the normal way, covering up the old with green paint, and respraying... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melsereno Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I posted this in another thread:Here is an excerpt from an article on MiamiDolphins.com:With the final bit of painting, mowing, watering and fertilization going on, Mangan and his crew now get to see how the grass holds up to some of the show rehearsals and other event preparation that will take place on the field and then they will jump back out there and spruce up the paint and the rest of the field. Once the Pro Bowl ends, both end zones will be removed and replaced with fresh sod and then painted with the names of the two participating teams ? the Colts and Saints. The Pro Bowl logos on the field and the sod they sit on also will be replaced with the Super Bowl XLIV logo.Here is a link to the entire article:http://www.miamidolphins.com/news/sun-life-stadium-getting-facelift-pro-bowl-and-super-bowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powersurge Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Let's just hope the field holds up after the Bowl debacle...you know I actually didn't think about the condition of the field until I read this thread. I'm very interested to see what happens. Afterall, it was the very same stadium not too long ago that had a number of games played on it, destroying the surface for one of the bowl games. I doubt the underwhelming Pro Bowl will do anything bad to the field but I can still imagine that there is not way that the field can be as pristine as it has been in previous Super Bowls. Most of the past Super Bowl Stadium crews had weeks to get their surface prepared as opposed to days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc... Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 The NFL should just have thier own Field Turf field transported to where ever they are playing the game. They wouldnt have to grow grass at farms and could just keep their nice fake turf in storage and install it over where the event is held. It would be able to handle 2 "big" games in 7 days.

Matito Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 I'd venture to say that the players probably wouldn't like that. I haven't heard how football players feel about FieldTurf, but I've heard Carl Crawford of the Rays say on numerous occasions that the FieldTurf kills his knees.

Harmening Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 They could have the Pro Bowl be played wearing just socks. Might actually be an entertaining game, then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the past Super Bowl Stadium crews had weeks to get their surface prepared as opposed to days.The Bowl debacle was at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando, not at LandShark/SunLife Stadium in Miami. Miami's turf has always held up well, with the Marlins playing baseball throught the first month of the season and the Hurricanes and Dolphins sharing the field the rest of the fall. Iowa and Georgia Tech played the Orange Bowl there right after the end of the regular NFL season, and the turf was beautiful.

St. Louis pulls it up every season, and this practice has been cited as a possible explanation for the crippling injury epidemic that has struck the franchise since they switched over.

The_Admiral Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I think Junior Seau had a season-ending injury in the Patriots' first game on FieldTurf, that time they hosted the Bears and decided to go from grass to FieldTurf over the bye week. Not saying that's why Seau got hurt, but lol at FieldTurf. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
