  • "The field stinks. Kids destroyed it. We need 1,000 square feet of sod within the next 24 hours, or we're not going to be able to play this game."
    As crazy as that quote might sound, that's what actually happened prior to Super Bowl XXV, as due to Operation Desert Storm and the Gulf War leading to a change in the halftime show that ended up destroying the field, groundskeeper George Toma was in a race against the clock to get the field ready for Super Bowl XXV between the Buffalo Bills and the New York Giants. What followed was an incredible sequence of events that included a made-for-movie heist mission. Seriously.

    Forget the Declaration of Independence. I want a movie about the grounds crew at the Super Bowl stealing the sod for the field. Hell, let Nicolas Cage play Mr. Toma. I don’t care if they look nothing alike. I just want that movie. 😂

    The rare time that the halftime show at Super Bowl XXV was preempted (New Kids on the Block) for war coverage [Persian Gulf War].

    I always find it fun that when these stories come out, it coincidentally consists of the same two teams that are playing present-day Gameday. BILLS at home against the Giants.

    I'm a lifelong Hillsborough County, Fla. resident and I never knew about this mess. I never knew that George Toma had to go to those lengths just to have an acceptable playing surface. The Bucs' natural surface has usually been on point even since USF football launched later in the decade and put more wear and tear on the field.

    That show sounds like something that might have happened in the 1960's because of how it wasn't choreographed like they do today

    “Might have been the best super bowl played up until that point”
    Whenever anyone plays the best super bowl ever card and discusses SB25 they somehow overlook one blaring key obviously, seemingly massive point- norwoods kick, either hood or bad, was going to be the last play of the game. That was it. Winner if the game decided on that play.
    The handful of other SBs that were won on a final play had the potential to continue after that play. Super bowl 36 for example- if that field goal is missed the game simply goes to OT. Super bowl 34- if the titans get in the end sone at the end, they don’t win, the games goes to OT (or maybe they go for 2, either way there’s another play)
    No other super bowl has had a truly final win or lose play. Just SB25. That’s it.

    Edit: I just imagine the grounds crew wearing ski masks to steal the sod from the University of Tampa's soccer pitch
