Field Preparation Challenges

The preparation of the Super Bowl field has faced significant challenges in recent years, particularly highlighted during Super Bowl 57. Players reported slipping and sliding on the field, with some describing it as akin to playing on a water park. Incidents included an Eagles kicker nearly twisting an ankle and a star quarterback slipping during a critical moment, raising questions about the field's readiness despite extensive preparation involving time and money. Such issues sparked a blame game afterward, focusing on factors like overwatering and improper maintenance leading up to the event.
