Tepper would never

That would improve things here by a ton. You want players to want to play here? Stuff like this.....

[frankw]

On his part it seems like such an obvious win/win optics move. But at this point in time after all the public discussion about it even from some of his own players it's pretty clear he just doesn't care and won't be swayed.

Tepper strikes me as the type that the more people ask for something and the louder they get the less likely he is to do it.

How would Charlotte ever have concerts again if they had a grass field stadium?  Good thing Tepper figured this out for us simple minded southerners.

We call that small pecker syndrome.

I don’t know if I have heard of a team doing this in season before bet there is a landscaping reason why or why not.

There isn’t. It’s about $.

As we can see it’s easily doable. Mid season is probably just a bonus to keep a nice field.

With today’s technology even the harshest conditions can have grass with proper maintenance. But it isn’t cheap. It does cost money.

Packers have a hybrid with real grass kept up with heat and lighting…even the new Buffalo stadium will have grass.

Maintenance costs along with other uses and turf is millions cheaper. It is literally all about money.

Probably has to do with the weather and/or health of the turf. Cold weather bluegrass starts shifting towards dormancy so by bringing in from another location that hasn't been affected yet, they could get better turf health and durability.

Isn’t the real issue the MLS team?

MLS game on Saturday and a NFL game on Sunday would cause turf problems no?

MLS season is over, Broncos did this midseason

[strato]

No one does it, probably because it costs like crazy. But they are nearly 4 times as rich as Tepper.

Haha, maybe he will decide to keep up with the Joneses.

I’m talking about the period of time when both overlap. Or are you saying have artificial for part of the season and replace with real grass when mls is done?
