2. CIF - Artificial TurfDuring the first four years the CIF State Bowl Games were held at the Home Depot Center, the field conditions and the weather cooperated. Not so this year. A steady rain, courtesy of the Pineapple Express weather system that surged through the entire state of California, turned the grass field to a mud pit by Friday evening. The poor field conditions left many wondering what the results would have been on a dry field. Despite the muddy field, all of the games were relatively high scoring with at least 40 points scored in four of the five contests.
