OT: Surface at SB

[BPF]

I don't remember where I read it but someone had some comments on turf at SB, here's why:

Why were players from the Packers and Steelers slipping and sliding on the infill surface at Cowboys Stadium? The stadium uses three separate fields, depending on if it is hosting an NFL event, a college game or a soccer game. When each field is not being used, it gets rolled up. When the field gets rolled up, the fibers get compressed. My sources tell me the NFL had a difficult time getting the fibers to stand up the week before the game because the field had been in storage.

So despite all the marvels of expensive modern technology, what they really needed in order to provide decent footing for the SB was for America's Team to have at least made it through a round or two of the playoffs...so they wouldn't have been tempted to roll up the field. That's on Jerry...

Did they try blow-drying?
