| Abstract/Contents: | Suggests that "Super Bowl XXX in January 1996 in Phoenix [Arizona] was a nightmare...one man was not thinking, and it caused a major problem [on the playing surface]." Explains that "Sun Devil Stadium had been renovated with new drainage, a new rootzone and hot water heat under the field supplied by the college steam plant...but someone was not thinking, and they set the heat up so high that it fried the field." Describes the field reparations, stating that "it took [the] crew hours of work, pre-germinating and applying ryegrass, plus many, many gallons of Green Lawnger to have a beautiful, safe playing field." |
