How Super Bowl Fields Are Deep Cleaned And Prepped For Game Day | Deep Cleaned | Insider
It's cool he's proud of his work and the details being done right.
Too bad it was all done wrong
Yeah they did such a great job this year didnt they? /s
@@xp8969how?
This is fascinating to watch. Getting things cleaned is the best feeling in the world.
Jesus loves you and is coming back soon!
Believe in His death and resurrection and accept Him as your Lord and Saviour and be saved and abandon your sins and turn to Him!
Have an amazing day!
Narrator: What do you typically vacuum up?
Groundskeeper: Screws from players helmet, sunflower seeds. Pete Carroll's gum...
"And sometimes broken tablet pieces but I haven't had to do that my friend Tim over at Gillette stadium has."
Lol
Nice inside but I'm wondering about all those paint and chemicals... I'm not especially obsessed by sustainability but I'm curious to see the pollution from all this on the drain system and the water.
What an absolutely incredible waste of resources just for marketing - paint, solvents, water, paper, time, fuel. All for one match.
Very cool. As a sports fan, we need more of these behind the scenes videos so we can see all the hard work people do.
They turned the field into a slip n slide! Nice!
This is from last year's super bowl
I've always wondered about this process. Thank y'all for showing it to me.
No disrespect but the groundskeeper in Soccer are on a whole other level. You just clean and paint. I wish the NFL was all grass.
Excellent cleaning job..!! Thank you for the update, Insider..!!
It's unfortunate that this came out before a Super Bowl where the atrocious and dangerous condition of the field was the biggest story of the night. Someone is getting fired, if they haven't been fired by the time of my writing this.
The problem with that is: It is hard to find out who has to be blamed for it.
Asfar as I know George Toma is responsible, from NFL side, and seemed to have prepared every Superbowl Field ever (he retired after last one, said that in advance). However the stadium had a history of slipping this season (Fiesta Bowl e.g, I think Chiefs had there problems early in the season too) so it could very well be that just the paint or grass they use sucks a lot, in which case they shouldn't fire anyone but replace where they get it from to have a better quality there
The Fiesta Bowl was terrible. One of the commentators had passed it off as saying something like “the NFL plays on these types of fields so it’s different for professional players vs college players” but after watching the Super Bowl, doesn’t seem like that was true at all.
@@AlexM2299 that seems like a lame excuse to say "I can't blame the stadium if I want to be here next year again". I just hope the Cardinals get a new greenkeeper & a better grass next season. Hope they, and every NFL team figures some consequences out of it.
I mean it can happen for one game, somedays are just bad for the ground, but multiple time a season and in 2 bowl games? That's a big no.
@@PR_311 Agreed completely. Didn’t they say the grass they were using was a new type than they normally use? Was that comment referring to the grass just for the Super Bowl or in general for Arizona? I’ve been looking.
The stadium previously had Tifway 419 Bermuda grass, which is the standard turf for football. Four weeks before the Super Bowl, they ripped it all out and replaced with a newer breed called Tahoma 31, which is used on golf courses. (Source: ESPN)
Bogus if you ask me
When they cleaned the circular brushes all the water goes to a regular drain? So it doesn’t get disposed to a reclining center?
Looks like they are polluting the drains
Of course it does. Its the US, what do you ecpect? Plastic fields, paint and chemicals to remove it.
@@chrismunz8127 The U.S. is one of the most environmentally clean countries in the world. At least compared to the big red country that progressives seem to try very hard to never criticize.
I had my IT internship with the Packers last year, and the groundskeepers were always chugging along either at Lambeau or the training field. Awesome guys!
Thank you, I was looking for an incredibly effective solution to pollute a large amount of water in record time.
There is only one grounds keeper and his name is Willie
@@Gg-ij7li take your bul$h!t religion else where
Best comment ever bunderchowed
Lol I love the simpsons reference lol
You forgot Boothby …
😁
The wanton use of “solution” was a little questionable to me and not a single respirator in sight? Nobody getting paid enough here to lose their life early off these chems
I really hope the actualy Players understand, acknowledge and appreciate the time and effort that goes into these aspects of the game
I know Steelers players do, i recall the NFL trying to force them to use artificial turf.Players spoke up about their ground crew and wanted grass to remain
This is actually pretty cool
The real question is how they made the Arizona field so slipery.
Timing with irrigation.
The Arizona field is on a movable platform. The grass is let outside to get sun and it is watered. They overwartered it right before that Sunday game.
Thanks for the video! It was really great to see the process being done. Bothe removal and prep work. Thanks!
NGL this was really fascinating to watch
so how good is this for the climate? all these chemicals
Saw this before the Super Bowl. Came right back after to read the comments. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I wish they were wearing breathing face masks when handling paint and remover.
It wouldn't surprise me if this stuff would cause problems years down the line.
It's probably water based and the "solution" could be soapy water
Then they'll sue the chemical company.
@@codypeterson7166 actually water base paint is worse for your lungs because it’ll stay in the lung and the organism will not handle it as an „external threat“.
The NFL doesn't really seem to care about longterm health risks
That's some hard work no doubt!!
Must be great breathing all that paint remover.
"we use *the solution* to remove the paint"
Hmm...
and going down the drain
You have inspired me. I wanna definitely work up to something like that as like a seasonal job if possible
This is so cool, I've always wondered how the kept up the field!
@Insider..
Silence scam.
Pretty cool to see how they do this 😎
Fantastic atmosphere on the super bowl stadium ground!
I’m excited for the Super Bowl❤❤
Dude same 🏈
@@jacobpugpoirier3350 glad I’m not the only one🤪🤪
Jesus loves you all and is coming back soon!

Have an amazing day!
@@Gg-ij7li When exactly is he coming back?
@@Gg-ij7li 🥰
This years field is real grass
That was more interesting than the the stupid boring game thats played there
This guys perfectly spoken
It’s still badass how the Rams came out in the throwbacks in Super Bowl Llll.
The amount of chemicals they are using just to get a few logos on the field.
This narration is AMAZING....my sarcasm is entirely intentional.
How interesting this is quite informative
Thanks for the video. My Supber Bowl field hasn't looked better!
Very satisfying
I don't care about football in any way but this was super interesting
That’s a lot of work!
That’s insane I love it
Jesus loves you and is coming back soon!
Believe in His death and resurrection and accept Him as your Lord and Saviour and be saved and abandon your sins and turn to Him!
Have an amazing day!
Arizona didn’t get to watch this video ! 😂
This is oddly satisfying
This was pretty cool
You never see the behind the scenes.
Thanks.
1:45 Howzit Braddah!
Do they re use the water ?
Why do you scrub the paint off every game just to repaint it?
This video is really cool!
I want this as my job
In my part time i too work in stadiums but not as a painter but as a steward. I have seen this type of cleaning take place in football and rugby stadiums
Shovel the confetti? Crazy there is no industrial vacuum cleaner
THIS IS BAD A$$!!!!! GREAT WORK MAN!!!!!!!!!!!
Can't wait to see a video like this for the Gold Cup Final 2023 and the World Cup 2026
This seems like a really fun job.
So imagine all the time, effort and resources that go into this, and yet people don’t believe that the NFL uses magnets in the ball and gloves
Can you forward this to the grounds crew in ARI? They need it
wow
i will never look at confetti the same again.
How do you even do an application for the clean up? I would love to do this work
Question: What is the process of the confetti falling. It sound interesting as any of the 2 teams in the Super Bowl will win.
phuu what about the envoirement? so much paint just for a stupid game?!
@paulkostiak8660 I don't own car, i live inside a city ;) i have a 12.000 euro roadbike and a subway
The amount of paint going on their shoes...surprised no one wears shoe covers.
Probably have a set just for painting
Amazing insight
I wonder if some ppl keep some confetti as keepsakes like if it’s their first Super Bowl 🤷🏽♂️ I definitely would.
Here for the cleaning... I don't care about the Super Bowl.
While interesting to watch, that's such a massive waste. I'm surprised the strands of fake grass aren't pre colored
Seems like it would be more of a waste to use new turf everytime there’s a new game painting is also less expensive I’d imagine professional grade turf is expensive
@@Slpsii or they could just not change the turf at all???
@@fish_citizen They use stadiums for other purposes, aka concerts, or things like monster jam.
Respirators? Aerosolized paint and thinner for hours on end..
Cool job
Regular grass still looks better
Totally missed an opportunity to do the “Groundskeeper Willy Voice” from the Simpsons.
hard work but what a cool job
How do u find these kind of jobs , this is my dream job
It certainly wasn't always this way. But fans and players have come to expect pristine playing surfaces with both big league baseball and football.
Sunflower seed shells on the pitch, from where?
Lots of coaches and players chew on the seeds from stress and just general things. Gum is another popular item
In Arizona, they use motor oil to condition the field.
Does removing the paint damage the filed at all? I could see it picking up a lot of the rubber pellets.
They need to treat it like they would any other week or the potential of SB LVII can happen.
I wonder how they handle this with real grass, Or do you just leave enough time between the last game and the SB for nature to do its thing and grow the painted blades out
very cool
Hey that's great, but, who are the "Chefs"?
Dope.
honestly all this shows me is how wasteful we are on resources as humans for random things. the amount of water and materials wasted each week for this is crazy relative to people in the world who have access to none, and just the unnecessary of needing any of this in the first place
Yup, we are such a stupid species, wasting finite resources on a regular basis, just because we can. Water shortages are already becoming a thing in America, so let’s waste more water!
Why don't they play on normal fields with top soil or sand based? What's the big deal with ASTRO turfs
I always thought that the grass was real, and that the logos and stuff "painted" on the grass were CGI generated using the grass as a green screen from how "video game-y" get looked.
This would be a dream job for me in Carolina.. this or coaching staff.
Despite everything that goes in to preparing a field, particularly for a Super Bowl, it’s pretty unthinkable that the field can be as bad as it was for SB 52. The field should never be a talking point consistently throughout any game much less influence the outcome of a Super Bowl.
What kind of solution?
I need those pressure washers for my shower walls lol
Is this process safe for the grass?
Interesting how they can remove the paint from the field without damaging the die in the artificial turf
When do they coat it in grease?
That's funny
Do didn't clean the field that good cuz it was a mess 😭😭
Poor guy using 'solution' for everything doesn't realise its more than likely a carcinogen that he's constantly breathing in and covered in. I promise that your grounds keeping career will not seem that important when the health effects come later. Put a decent mask on for goodness sake at the very least for the paint fumes and mist that you are breathing.
I know for one thing that super bowl this year the field was wet slippery and everything they were slipping more than was fighting
Why is it painted?
Is that real grass or plastic one? Those black bits between the grassroots are a little mysterious
Yeah but how do they move that little yellow line at the first down marker so fast? ^_^
Thats great but who’s the Chefs?
