Bavaria Grass Works: NFL writing checks their grass can’t cash with Bayern Munich

Well, it’s over.

The NFL invaded Germany and had the Carolina Panthers and New York Giants (two of the worst teams in the league) play a game on the hallowed grounds of Bayern Munich — the Allianz Arena.

If you saw the game, you might have noticed that the field was being torn apart, which could have triggered you to wonder, “How will Bayern Munich ever play on this turf again?”

The answer: It won’t.

Per Bild (via @iMiaSanMia), the NFL is replacing the grass with a new, hybrid system, while the old pitch will go over to the Bayern Munich youth teams:

Allianz Arena will get a new pitch after yesterday’s NFL game in time for Augsburg after the international break. Work began in the stadium this morning. The new pitch will be hybrid, unlike in 2022 where the players complained about natural grass. The old pitch will continue to be used and was transported to the youth campus.

Anyone who saw the mess game, could tell that the turf was being destroyed in real-time. Many folks in the Bavarian Grass Works community immediately sought refuge not just from the horrid showing by both teams, but from watching the beloved grass get massacred.

Regardless, the dawn of a new grass era is upon us.

It appears that the former Wolfsburg groundskeeper, who was supposed to revive the pitch at the Allianz Arena is getting a new lease on life. Will he take advantage of it or will he end up looking like just another turf-totaling grasshat?

Only time will tell in the tenuous world of grass maintenance.
