Stadiums & Arenas of Canada, Part 3

[cjones2451]

I don't really agree with Elly that growing artificial turf will be cost prohibitive, at least not forever. Soccer is getting much more popular in Canada by the year, and eventually, it will be legitimately popular enough that it would make financial sense to grow grass at Olympic Stadium using artificial grow lights and whatever other methods there are to install real turf in a stadium with a roof.

Sure it can be done, but when it is a multi purpose stadium and you have a "Taylor Swift Eras tour" come into town and have 3 or 4 shows, your turf is covered and crushed for over a week, which is not sustainable long term

If you look at stadia that are covered and have real grass they either have a retractable pitch of some sort, but the soccer tenant is the main contributor to the revenue for the stadium
