Watch Chase Field transform into a football stadium for the 2016 Cactus Bowl

Dec 27, 2016, 9:45 PM

Before Baylor and Boise State met in the Cactus Bowl, the hosting venue required a transformation.

Chase Field, built and equipped to house the Arizona Diamondbacks, has hosted football games and even basketball games in the past, but never before have we seen how it undergoes such a transformation.

It took about a week to prepare the football field and set up the stands, and that’s not considering the video begins with the baseball field already stripped bare of grass.
