LAS VEGAS — On Jan. 9, two days after the Las Vegas Raiders' season finale at Allegiant Stadium, newly appointed NFL field director Nick Pappas posted a photo on X of the Raiders' rollaway grass field being ripped up to make way for the one-time-use field for Super Bowl LVIII to be played 33 days later.
In 12 posts over the next 30 days, Pappas gave his followers a behind-the-scenes look at the installation and preparation of this year's Super Bowl field.
He peeled back the curtain on how the grass was harvested, rolled up and then laid out in a tray outside the stadium. Pappas shared photos of the field being lined and the logos painted.
On Wednesday, he posted a video of the tray being rolled into the stadium.
