Mercedes Benz Stadium replaced its turf in 2019 and earned the highest certification possible by FIFA, known as FIFA Pro, according to the team’s spokesperson.
Installing natural grass at venues can cost around $600,000 to $900,000, according to sources. To do so, organizers trucked in a hundred thousand square feet of grass to cover the artificial turf on its football field. In July, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill hosted a soccer match between Chelsea and Wrexham AFC. This past summer, playing surfaces at NFL stadiums were switched from turf to grass for the summer soccer friendlies, including the match between Premier League’s Manchester United and Arsenal at MetLife Stadium-where Rodgers got hurt. Another superstar, Thierry Henry, expressed his concerns and did not travel to Seattle for a regular season game because the stadium had artificial turf. Inter Miami’s co-owner David Beckham was adamant about not wanting to play on artificial turf during his time with LA Galaxy. Messi does not make a big deal about turf, but other European superstars who’ve come to MLS have. Messi also didn’t play in Argentina’s 3-0 win against Bolivia this past Wednesday the national team has two World Cup qualifier matches in October. Workload has been a concern since Messi arrived at Inter Miami, which will play next on Wednesday at home against Toronto FC. “It’s been a while since I’ve played on artificial turf, but I have no problem adapting myself again,” Messi said during his first press conference in Miami last month. The seven-time Ballon d’Or winner previously said he didn’t mind. You plan to remove all artificial turf for the World Cup coming up. Congrats How many more players have to get hurt on ARTIFICIAL TURF?! You care more about soccer players than us.
