You say that but are they ripping out all the plastic fields and putting grass down and actually letting it settle

If not the same problems will happen

it was shite, but still not as bad as England/Denmark today.


Clearly pieces of grass coming up isn’t ideal but established grass in Frankfurt is still better than sod over plastic that isn’t level.

Yeah Doku, of Man City, kicked MacAllister, of Liverpool, in the chest inside the box during stoppage time this past season. Went to VAR and no penalty given.

Yes, that's been well documented.

They are growing the grass a year in advance.

That’s not letting it settle where it’s going to be laid from a natural turf management standpoint it’s not as simple as you think.

That’s why when you get sod laid it was a while to establish esp if you are putting it on concrete

The set up Spurs have is perfect

Hopefully the NFLPA gets their way and all these stadiums become grass

Then how are they getting 120+ yards of uniform established grass into these stadiums?

For the World Cup?

They are seeding and growing under special lighting more than a year in advance.

That time line doesn’t even match up

Especially for warm season turf like Bermuda

That and high quality Bermuda doesn’t come from seed

So in Atlanta, LA, Dallas, etc where is this grass going to be before it’s in the stadium ?

Unless they are all converting for that NFL season and ripping the plastic shite out and the concrete and establishing grass.

I haven’t seen anything about the bidding other than it has to be natural grass

The cards stadium in AZ has the set up for it, rolling it out to grow then bringing it back in.

But these other NFL stadiums don’t

Every NFL stadium is growing (not laying) grass in 2025 in preparation for 26.

Hell, Dallas is going through a test run right now for Copa.

Good, they’re being cheap asses (Not Dallas) by installing turf.
