The last postcards from 2023 had generated some concern among River fans. It was not be for lowerly: After a marathon of recitals between October and December, the playing field of the Monumental Stadium had been damaged. After Tan Biónica’s last show, when the last covers were removed from the field, the first images showed a really battered grass. It had nothing to do with the best terrain in Argentine football.
Beyond the impact that those first images caused, River de-dramatized the situation from the start. The thing is that beyond the marks left by the recitals on the ground, it was planned, before reseeding, to completely lift the grass. It is part of a normal task that is carried out every time the season ends, when the seeds have to be renewed to move from one season to another.
During the first days of the year, the playing field of the Temple of Núñez looked “bare” almost completely. It was only a matter of time. And let the sun and the irrigation do their thing. The stoppage was great for the Millionaire to get the grass ready from the start, but also to renew some aesthetic issues, such as the synthetic carpets that surround the field.
A few days before the start of the League Cup, the panorama today seems completely different. There was little or nothing left of that “minefield” from the recitals. Today the grass of the Monumental Stadium is very close to its ideal state. Therefore, when River receives Argentinos Jrs. next Sunday in Núñez, The fans and the protagonists will once once more enjoy the usual green grass. The one that Lionel Messi and even Lionel Scaloni himself once defined as the best field in South America.
