When millions of eyes turn toward a championship game, what’s beneath the athletes’ feet matters just as much as what’s happening on the scoreboard. For Super Bowl–caliber events, the playing surface must perform flawlessly — and that level of perfection doesn’t happen overnight. It starts months, even years, before kickoff. That’s where West Coast Turf comes in.

For Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, the NFL once again turned to West Coast Turf to deliver a natural grass field worthy of the world’s biggest stage. The grass wasn’t grown inside the stadium. Instead, it was carefully cultivated at a West Coast Turf sod farm in California’s Central Valley, where climate, soil conditions, and agronomic expertise come together to create elite-level turf.

Growing a Super Bowl field is a long game. In this case, the grass was grown for more than 18 months, allowing the root structure to mature and strengthen long before installation. West Coast Turf’s proprietary “Ready Play” system — a Bermudagrass base overseeded with ryegrass — is engineered to deliver durability, traction, and recovery at the highest level of play. This blend is designed specifically for elite sports performance, providing players with the consistency and stability they demand.

When it’s time for installation, precision takes over. Tens of thousands of square feet of sod are harvested, rolled, transported, and installed on an exact schedule. Each roll weighs close to a ton, requiring careful handling to ensure the turf arrives fresh, healthy, and game-ready. From the moment the sod leaves the farm to the final roll laid inside the stadium, every step is monitored to protect quality.

Once installed, the grass becomes a living surface that requires expert care. West Coast Turf works alongside stadium grounds crews, using advanced tools such as moisture monitoring, grow lights, and airflow systems — all while relying on hands-on experience to adjust for weather, sun exposure, and field usage. It’s a blend of science, technology, and old-school turf knowledge.

This isn’t new territory for West Coast Turf. With decades of experience and multiple Super Bowl fields to its name, the company has earned its reputation as a trusted partner for professional sports, collegiate athletics, and major events. From iconic stadiums to local community fields, the same commitment to quality applies — because every field deserves professional-grade performance.

At the end of the day, a championship field is about more than grass. It’s about safety, playability, and pride. West Coast Turf doesn’t just grow sod — they grow confidence, one field at a time. For more information visit westcoastturf.com
