Panthers putting down a grass field?

[MechaZain]

With Messi coming to MLS they need to just make the switch permanent. Doing it for the occasional friendly match was bad enough, rolling out the grass whenever Miami comes to town would be a straight slap in the face to the Panthers players who have asked.

I love how they put grass down for the traveling soccer teams each time. It’s so deflating knowing that Tepper ultimately values flexibility for his entertainment biz vs winning or player safety. 
 

 

Its almost as if you don't know how business works! He didn't buy the team to make fans happy, he bought it to make HIMSELF money! He is doing that.

The only problem I see is that dome teams cannot have grass fields.  Do you force them to build new stadiums? Good luck with that.

You’d just grandfather them in until they build their next one.  You don’t have to push an owner very hard to build a new stadium.  It seems like that’s all they ever want to do.

What’s disappointing is these franchises print money no matter what unless the entire NFL goes in decline. JR made asinine decisions about costs(indoor practice facility). But at least he prioritized the football team for the stadium.

Watching the USMNT game and they said they put the grass over the turf field. The ball doesn't even bounce right.

It was pretty damn funny to watch guys play long balls and the ball just checkup. The ball barely rolled unless guys absolutely drilled their passes.

Tepper is worth 18.5 billion I'm sure he can figure out how to keep real grass and still keep the lights on.

I'm sure this has already been suggested, but outside of the cost to re-do the field back to natural grass, could we not put a turf surface down for bigger events over the grass?

If Tepper's concern was destroying the field for the quantity of live events, couldn't they do the reverse of what they're doing?

They aren't putting in grass for Messi games. That was just speculation.

Didn't Messi say he is going to sit out games that are played on turf? Pretty sure ticket sales from that game alone would be enough to pay for permanent grass.

It is going to be hard not to think about this any time I hear Mr.Tepper ranting about winning at any cost or how it is the most important thing.  Actions speak louder than words, sir.
