Salvo Montalbano Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 It's being quoted as the world's "first retractable pitch".. but I swear that someone.. I think it's Schalke.. are able to move their pitch to outside of the stadium There are a couple where the pitch is stored outside to aid growth then slid into the stadium but this is the first where the astroturf is stored below a natural grass pitch as far as I know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross. Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 How will that affect the natural playing surface? Will it make it softer or harder? Next to f**k all under the turf, other than the plates it sits on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realmadrid Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 if you have ever wondered why the old and the new stand at Exeter only runs so far this excellent picture from Sporting fields shows why. Work on the pitch with the new stand going up and the away end flattened as access before its built up after the stand is finished Such a tight footprint 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be called the Sapporo Dome, or that may be a PES stadium.
