They need to bring their seats down to the field level.

See how far away they are behind the goal?

Silly

For a SSS I am surprised they chose to use it, usually it's only american football teams that use it, if I remember right?

I suspect it's more of an MBA decision. That is, they're looking at the numbers such as installation costs versus on going maintainence. It's easire to point those things out on the resume than "probably helped keep players less injured" or "they players sweated less".

MBAs......

Isn't FIFA considering allowing field turf in the next round of WCQs?

Actually I think it is already approved. Saprissa Stadium in Costa Rica is field turf and I think they played many if not all of their qualifiers there.

Field Turf has been officially approved by FIFA.

And yes, yes I do, I expect the apocalypse any day now.
