The awful turf at the St. Petersburg Bowl looks like ...

This post is a slightly updated version of one from 2014, because this bowl’s turf looks like this every year.

Yes, that’s what the Tropicana Field turf at St. Petersburg’s bowl looks like. Football teams are playing on that nonsense.

Here are various things people think that turf looks like:

  • Pond scum
  • A velvet painting
  • A topographic map
  • Kale
  • The Breaking Bad credits
  • The stuff that gets scrubbed away in toothpaste commercials

(It should be noted that one of the Bitcoin Bowl’s mascots is a dog. Connect the dots, people.)
