Daily News | Eagles players rip State Farm Stadium’s turf, ‘the worst’ field conditions
Edge rusher Haason Reddick said,"this is the worst field I’ve ever played on," after the Eagles Super Bowl loss against the Kansas City Chiefs in Glendale, Arizona.
The 6-foot-1, 240 pound Reddick, who has tallied 16 sacks this season, responded that during the game, he would beat a Chiefs blocker, but found himself slipping on the corners, leaving him on the ground before the play was over. The NFL spent two years preparing the grass for field at the Super Bowl and it was installed two weeks ago. According to a Tweet by, the field was rolled out each morning for daily sunshine. Growing and installing the turf cost $800,000.
Even when the 28-year-old, along with most of the team, wore a seven stud cleat, hoping to have a better grip on the field, he still found himself losing traction and watching teammates slip alongside of him.
