Apparently the Seattle match on Saturday is the last we'll see of the current turf installed at BC Place.

Hopefully the new turf doesn't look like mud on TV :)

Anyone have some info on what the new turf should look like?

Cheers,

Regs.

Pitch looked fantastic on TV though it needs a lot more time to settle as I saw quite a few players slipping and you could see a couple of seams. The infill was quite noticeable as well.

The biggest take-away for me is that the ball held up when played through... Caps will need to adjust and start bringing wide players who have some skill and not only run :)

Driving by Hastings Bowl they have redone the whole park and laid downs some new Turf.

It looked like they finished the new project/park a few weeks ago and it was set to open.


Drove by the other day on the way to work and it looked like they pulled out the turf they had just installed on the west field and a newer greener looking turf was going in.

Perhaps some extra turf leftover from the new BC place install?

The two field at Hastings bowl looked like they were very different colours. with the new turf that they were putting in much "greener".

Didn't get a chance to look today to see if they redid both fields.

Either way the new Hastings Bowl looks pretty neat. Elevated Running track, change rooms, covered benches, warm up area, basketball courts etc...

Mayor moonbeam is a big soccer fan so you can tell that played a part...

I am sure parking will be pay parking but there should be plenty of places to park your bike...

The story was that the Parks Board had attempted to re-use what had previously been in place, and then add to it. Supposedly they were told by FIFA that it wasn't up to par so the whole thing was replaced...

I posted a couple of weeks ago somewhere about Hastings getting new turf as a result of ALL WWC training facilities needing to have a certain standard of turf installed
