Super Bowl grounds crew almost forgot to paint hashmarks over field logo
The Super Bowl is the biggest sporting in America every year, and the people who help put it together have a massive checklist of items to get through before kickoff. It appears the grounds crew missed one on Sunday, but fortunately they got to it in time.
As Albert Breer of The MMQB noted, a crew was on the field at U.S. Bank Stadium roughly two hours before kickoff between the Patriots and Eagles painting hashtags over the official Super Bowl LII logo.

While that should give the paint plenty of time to dry before the game gets underway, we can assure you that task is one that was supposed to be completed earlier in the day. As long as the NFL can avoid the type of situation that happened at the Hall of Fame Game a couple of years back, everything should be fine in Minneapolis.
