As far as the turf, I agree that it is “different”, I just don’t mind it all that much, but for attracting fans, adding grass is a net positive. Starting next season, there will be limited turf left in MLS, and it isn’t leaving Seattle or New England any time soon.

I never thought I would see that happen, particularly in this economy.

Wet, cold field turf changed that game. I’ve played on it and coached teams that play on it. Nobody can say it acts like real grass. It doesn’t, and it never will.
