The stadium hosted the Orange Bowl on New Years Day between the Oregon Ducks and the Texas Tech Raiders

 

 

 

 

NO EXPENSE has been spared on the field set to host the National Championship game and it has left the iconic stadium unrecognisable.

The No.10 ranked Miami Hurricanes take on the No.1 ranked undefeated Indiana Hoosiers for all the glory on Monday night.

Considering the astounding prices for a CFP Final ticket alone, fans would hope the field at the Hard Rock Stadium was flawless.

A video posted on the stadium’s Instagram showed the ground staff’s incredible field transformation ahead of the CFP Final.

The home of the NFL’s Miami Dolphins laid down an entirely new field after it also hosted the Orange Bowl on New Years Day.

 

 

 

The Oregon Ducks, who were knocked out by Indiana in bruising fashion in the semi-final, beat the Texas Tech Raiders 23-0 that day.

At the start of the video, the Oregon and Texas Tech endzones can be seen before the entire field is ripped up and replaced.

The Hard Rock Stadium is one of 15 NFL arenas that uses real grass, specifically natural Bermuda.

 

 

 

 

Relaying fields right before big NFL and college football games has proven problematic in the past.

Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs fans will recall the disastrous field in the 2023 Super Bowl at the State Farm Stadium in Arizona.

Players were seen slipping on multiple occasions, and it had a strong impact on pass protection and rushes in the trenches.

 

 

 

However, the Hard Rock Stadium is one of the more renowned multi-purpose stadiums for getting the surface right.

It might be one of the reasons for their eye-watering ticket fees and how much the stadium is charging people to park.

Those lucky match goers should be treated to an absolute spectacle one way or another.

 

 

 

The National Championship game is essentially a home game for Miami, but the Hoosiers faithful will inevitably travel en masse.

Alongside what should be a great game of football, American Idol star Jamal Roberts will perform the national anthem.
