    Why don’t the owners just ask taxpayers to pay for it so it will boost the local economy.

    Bringing in grass for a one off World Cup event is different than maintaining grass for an entire season.

    There’s also zero evidence that grass is any better.

    There is NFL money, and then there is FIFA money. No one messes with FIFA money.
