Cool captures, Jay. The fact they roll the field into the stadium is truly amazing. Thanks for sharing.

Looks like it. It normally lives outside of the stadium so that it can grow out ion the open air, with rain and sunlight and stuff, then they roll it into the arena on matchdays...

Bizarre!

If I recall too, there is an option to have teams practice or play on field outside, while something else goes on inside stadium? My aunt lives about 15 minutes away from here up in Sun City. Just wish she had some connections for tickets, since I'd have free accomodation!

Cool shot. Must be exciting see all that come together. I went by a couple weeks ago when they were setting up tents and things outside the stadium.

nice shots... I love the second one of the booth. I work in TV and it would be my dream job to direct the Super Bowl.

There are alternate outdoor practice facilities. There really isn't enough room around the sidelines to use the main field outdoors, safely.
