Real Madrid's stadium
It's the offseason, but I thought this was really interesting. Maybe I missed it before? |

At first glance I figured this was just a billionaire owner vanity project to show off to his friends but apparently Real Madrid is owned by about 90,000 fans who vote for things like the team president so they probably had to have voted on this.

Are we doing this?
Just off the top of my head. Perhaps it is the dividing up and moving the field into six longitudinal trays of 107 x 12 meters, each weighing 1500 tons, with numerous trolleys and miles of hydraulics, dropping them 24 meters, putting them in perfect UV conditions with irrigation systems, drainage all with fully automated systems and complex electrical controls. I mean what could go wrong? I guess I have been exposed to bigger projects, as this is no oversized elevator used to get the beer to the basement. It will take preventative maintence and redundancy to keep this thing operational. It is very cool and a feat of engineering. |

That is pretty underwhelming when you consider we are getting a bigger TV screen, a few tables and chairs in the end zone, a cheap stage on a bit of grass in the parking lot and a plastic bridge for ONLY $800m. Who needs A/C and a roof? Hell yeah!!!!

Work, sure. Nightmare is a little much. 1 tray or 6 it's the same process. |

Personally, I’ve always preferred Fake Madrid.

I guess it makes sense they need soft grass for these moments.
