I am still catching my breath from the end of the Super Bowl game, but wanted to note that the turfgrass Tifway 419 used at the Super Bowl this year was bred by UGA scientists. Thanks to Dr. George Vellidis of UGA Tifton for pointing it out! You can read more about how it was developed at https://greatcommitments.uga.edu/story/turf-tech/. Congratulations not only to the players but all the scientists that make helmets safe, increase player strength and endurance, and even make safer grass!
