Anyone who has been watching a fair share of football games at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona knows that too often the natural grass field atop the 40” deep tray that is customarily rolled in for game days is too slippery.
Ask the Cardinals’ opponents.
Ask the Fiesta Bowl teams.
Ask the NFL.
While the Arizona Cardinals have been doing all that they can to present a state-of-the-art facility for the players —- the great rollable grass tray experiment has been more theoretical than practical in terms of minimizing the kind of sloppy field conditions that can lead to serious injuries, too many of which have been the dreaded non-contact ligament and tendon tears.
