New stadium grass field

[RuffMuff]

Just listened to Josh press meeting and he said new stadium will have grass field! Did I miss this from previous reports?

It's always been planned to have grass turf

Yes this has been reported before. For example:

Natural grass with heating elements beneath, similar to Lambeau.

My guess is the need for sunlight to grow grass limited the width of the canopy

Totenheim has lighting trusses they roll out on the field to keep the grass growing.  I'd imagine they would implement something similar here.  

 

From wikipedia

"Grow lights are suspended on six 70-metre trusses to encourage the growth of the grass in the shaded areas of the stadium, and they can be folded away under the North Stand when not in use.[162][163][87] The grass can also be maintained for up to 5 days with artificial lighting, air ventilation, dehumidification and irrigation systems when the pitch is retracted under the south podium"

I think they plan on using 1,000 grow lights from Amazon.

Lambeau is a hybrid I believe. Real with a weave. 😏

Can you grow grass in an enclosed stadium without the field being on a "tray"?
