Turf expert Mark Shaw gets down to earth with a grid pattern of grasses at PGG Wrightson Seeds research centre in Lincoln. Your stadium turf … that’s predominately a turf-type perennial that’s tighter and finer in the leaf than a forage type that’s grazed by cows. It’s the first permanent roofed stadium with a living turf surface in the world, and it’s a success story. There would be a massive cost with a robotic turf system, and the turf is always the last thing they’ll think about. It is the lowest nutrient requirement grass and probably the slowest growing out of all the lawn options you have.
