After sacking that clown Del Rio, the first thing the new owners need to sort out is the ground staff. How can a field that is played on nine teams are year look so bad? How are there so many bald patches and areas of dead grass? And don’t even get me started on the training ground, that shit looks like it’s in a drought. It’s embarrassing.
Please, just get someone in who understands how grass grows.
I’m from the UK, so apologies if I get any terminology wrong.
There is literally nothing wrong with the field dude 😂
We’ll get a new stadium and field soon. In the meantime I’m not upset about how the field currently is
It is the best it’s looked in years. Could we do more, sure. But that’s not even an issue right now.
the pitch is far from first class.
Tbh… as long as the roots are growing and players are slipping and getting injured it’s fine… as long as the problem is aesthetically not pleasant. I’m happy we don’t have a shitty turf field cause that stuff fucks the joints up.
It’s a hybrid. This is a cross, ah, of Bluegrass, Kentucky Bluegrass, Featherbed Bent, and Northern California Sensemilia. The amazing stuff about this is, that you can play 4 quarters on it in the afternoon, take it home and just get stoned to the bejeezus-belt that night on this stuff.
And the lLama says “Gunga Galunga, Gunga Lunga” which means on your death bed you will receive total consciousness. So I got that going for me. Which is nice.
For natural grass, this field is great.
And honestly, knock on wood, since we have had it injuries have been way down. And we haven’t seen many of any serious ones from home or away teams.
Thanks for the replies, I’ve learnt a lot.
But it’s just so far away from what soccer pitches are. We’re talking about a multi billion dollar organisation here. The DC United pitch doesn’t look anywhere near as bad.
Soccer is 160 pound men evenly spread out jogging and running around for 90 minutes.
Football is 10 300 pound men digging in and pushing against each other on every play up and down the middle of the field for 3 hours.
The field takes 10x more punishment.
Do an experiment.
Go run around your yard in cleats for 15 minutes with a friend.
Then find two people double your size and have them push against each other in cleats for 30 mins.
Note the difference in damage to your yard.
This guy must be new here
