The Las Vegas Raiders will host the Super Bowl next month at Allegiant Stadium, and the field needs some work.
Last year’s Super Bowl in Arizona was nearly ruined due to the terrible field conditions at State Farm Stadium.
On Sunday, Broncos reporter Scotty Gange shared a video of what the field looked like at Allegiant Stadium before Sunday’s game, and it’s not looking great.

EMBARRASSING: Allegiant Stadium, home of the #Raiders and the second most expensive stadium in the world field is an absolute MESS
😳😳😳
The league’s revenue is 18.6 BILLION DOLLARS, DO BETTER.

Here’s a closer look at how bad the field looks up close.

While the Raiders play on grass, the stadium can use turf as well, and the NFL might opt for the turf for the Super Bowl if the field continues to look this terrible.
Hopefully, the NFL figures things out because we need to avert another field disaster after last year’s game.
