The Santiago Bernabéu stadium has laid the new grass upon which next season's games will be played. After a number of days of intense work and with a few tweaks still to be done, the fans who visit the Whites' Coliseum can now see the results.
All in all, 8,500 metre of grass from Milan has been used, divided into 23 sods which have been laid in stages in less than 48 hours. The type of grass that has been installed is hybrid, with an artificial base over which grass grows in a natural way, a technique pioneered on Spanish soil. It has a high resistance to wear and tear, avoiding uneven support for players and it has much-improved drainage.
A carpet
Paul Burgess, the man in charge of maintaining the Real Madrid football pitches explained the change at the Whites' stadium: "A change of grass is always complicated. It depends on transport, on if it has been well seeded and cultivated at origin, if it is has been installed properly... But I have a lot of confidence that we can have a great surface for the next season. The plan is that it'll be like playing all our matches on a carpet".
