Reality sucks, Princesses!
MLS regular season goes to the end of October and playoffs go into December now. The Sounders only missed the playoffs for the first time last season and they can be expected to go deep into it.But, honestly, unless you have a schedule like Seattle does at Lumen where there 5 soccer matches and 25 other non sporting events during the NFL season, and for teams like NY, NE, Cincy, Car, Ten, they can have grass given that based on the scheduled events from Sept to Jan, it's all football, with a few MLS matches and for NE a couple of concerts in late Sept. So, not an excuse that there are other events going on that would damage the field.
Pats and Revs share Gillette as well and they changed to turf because they don't want to wind up with what happened in '06 when they had to make a mid-season conversion because the NE weather destroyed the grass (They needed permission from the NFL to make the change).
As long as the Panthers and Charlotte FC are under the same owner, you can forget about any changes.,
As I stated before, NY already had a bad experience with grass in Meadowlands and had no plans for it in Met Life.
It's easy for a whiny little OT to complain about turf when it's clear that Rogers calf issues LIKELY played a role. Those issues were caused by playing on natural grass at Lambeau, which would be frozen solid by the time of the playoffs.
The only people who suffered from this are the "poor" talking heads who will have to find something to fill the airtime that will be open now.
