I'm not saying there isn't a problem BUT, it's not actually grass, it's hybrid turf that the manufacturer
claims offers instant playability after installation. So, in theory (if it was in the US), they could just stitch in new turf in the bad areas and play the game - "instant operational availability" is the claim. I guess we'll see if it's "lay & play" like they say.
With ready-to-play sod installation, your PlayMaster pitch is instantly playable.

The Azteca's stadium in Mexico City with a capacity of 85.000 people, is one the most iconic stadiums of the world. It was built to host the Olympic games of 1968 and to accommodate Club América as well as the Mexican National Football Team. Many games were played in this ‘Estadio Azteca’ such as the famous game of the century between Italy and West Germany during the 1970 FIFA World Cup which was won by Italy with 4-3. Starting next season, the Mexican City football club Cruz Azul will be playing their home games in the Azteca stadium. On top of this, one NFL game will be played on this field in November this year: the Kansas City Chiefs versus the Los Angeles Rams. Because of the high demands of the field regarding playing hours, flexibility and quality, the owner of the stadium, the telecommunications company Grupo Televisa choose
PlayMaster from Tarkett Sports. This carpet-based hybrid grass technology offers fast installation, instant playability and feels like natural grass.
New professional grass field
Estadio Azteca is continuously innovating and will change its grass field into a new hybrid system being the first stadium in Mexico using this technology.
PlayMaster is a carpet-based hybrid technology that gives horizontal reinforcement to the natural grass and that ensures an instant playability. This
lay & play field can stand up to the demands of multifunctional venues with busy schedules and provides the stadium a weather-proof, level, uniform and attractive playing field. On August 10, the field needs be ready for its first game of the new season. At this moment, the GrassMaster Solutions team has already started the preparations. At the specialist turf farm, the
PlayMaster hybrid grass sods are now growing. In July when the grass reaches the perfect height and density, the
PlayMaster rolls will be transported to the stadium where the sods are then installed on a carefully prepared laying base. Thanks to this ready-to-play sod installation, the
PlayMaster field is instantly playable.
