I asked because thats real grass in that stadium... and I dont see american football markings...

I remember in the 94 USA World Cup, most matches were hosted in american football stadiums, and there were problems with several fields that were smaller (in width) than the minimum official standart set by FIFA.

How to they intend to keep the grass healthy with so many matches/games going on between so many sports?


what do they do with the grass when they must host basketball, boxing, etc? I already went to a Rush show in a football (soccer) stadium, and they had put these plastic (?) perforated cover over the grass, to protect it but keep it breathing.

But I understand that it must be occasional... hosting too many basketball or boxing events would eventually kill the grass.
