A week away from CFP title game, Levi's Stadium grass looks awful
The offenses in Monday afternoon’s Redbox Bowl weren’t exactly tearing things up, as Oregon escaped with a 7-6 victory over Michigan State.
However, one thing did get torn up — the field at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. Now, normally, that wouldn’t be a big deal, but the stadium hosts the College Football Playoff National Championship Game a week from today.
As you can see below, the grass doesn’t look great as the Alabama Crimson Tide and Clemson Tigers head west for the big-time showdown:

There’s still time for the stadium crew to get the playing surface playable again, but that might require a whole new field of grass.
The Crimson Tide and Tigers will have to be careful when they take the field at the San Francisco 49ers’ home stadium in a week’s time.
It is frankly absurd that Bama and Clemson have to go to the Bay Area to play football. I know it was decided several years ago but someone with their head on straight should be understanding that the best teams are likely coming from east of the Mississippi and the game should be here too.
Well one thing is certain: this is about as neutral a field as you can get. Definitely agree that it is absurd to have both teams travel so far. Wonder what impact it will have on ticket sales, if any.
This is one of the very few times I will ever agree with you.
Leftists destroy everything they touch, even grass turf!
What an idiotic comment. Keep your politics out of sports.
You mean like NFL players do?
still seems to be a lot of racists in the Bama fan base…
At least it wasn’t a Bama player talking about another player….
Junebaby, there was literally nothing racist that was said. Get out of here with that bs.
It’s a free country. Don’t tell him what to do ya fücking libtard!

Hate to burst your bubble, Juno, but when I moved from GA in 1990 there was STILL a “black” high school in the town and the only way a black person could get into the country club was by working in the kitchen or be on the cleaning crew. No blacks were allowed to sit and eat in the restaurant and they SURELY weren’t allowed to play golf.
Did you already forget about the racist comment at UGA this season? Sometimes it’s best if you keep your mouth shut.
Junebaby, care to elaborate as to what was racist? You can’t, because it isn’t there. Typical leftist tactic though, dismiss anything you disagree with as racist. News flash, one of your qb’s is transferring due to a Georgia player calling him an n word. Pot meet kettle.
Lived in Cumming Georgia for a short time during the 80’s and they had billboards stating don’t let the sun set on your —– a$$ still up.
Now that was about as dumb a post as I have seen lately.
They just played a game on it. It didn’t look too bad.
You did not look at it very carefully, did you?
Trash field for a trash NFL team.
They need to fix that crap or not have it there. Holes and uneven surface can contribute to injuries for both teams. Imagine running full speed and stepping in a crater. Could end up with an injury like Tua’s or much worse. I wish they weren’t playing out there.
