I was watching an Arizona Cardinals on Redzone prior to the Fiesta Bowl and had a thought in the back of my mind. This real grass seems very slippery and could be an issue for the Wolverines who normally play on field turf. That prediction came true. Now, I don't blame the grass for Michigan's loss, but it didn't help.
I'm sure the NFL and the Super Bowl won't make the same mistake. Then they did. I don't know if it's the air conditioning or having the roof open or closed, but that is one slippery field and not one you should be playing a championship game on.
