MetLife Stadium, the site of this year’s FIFA World Cup final and several preliminary group-stage matches, is currently adorned in natural grass. The switch was made this spring from artificial turf to natural grass to adhere to FIFA requirements.
Several other host stadiums across the continent also complied by making the switch, and some of those will make that switch permanent. But not MetLife. As soon as the World Cup leaves town, the grass will be ripped up, and the fake stuff will be reinstalled.
