The Santiago Bernabéu sits in the heart of Madrid, so sliding the pitch out of the stadium was never going to be an option 🏗

One of those logistical things that you just don't think about much, but there has to be a way to swap it out with the spare grass so it can recover. It would be interesting to compare the ways that this is done in different stadiums and the other ways stadiums make their central space more flexible.

@adi45713 Год назад

They remove the whole pitch as in like a rollover carpet (made up of smaller carpets of different sizes), and manually fixed based on certain measurements. Basically the bottom tray in the above video resting on wheels is not present and the bottom storage wouldn’t be that huge or deep below ground level to fit in whole pitch.

@showwhite7320 Год назад

I'm wondering if they couldn't just build a metal cover for the grass field. Seems like it would be a lot cheaper to move just metal than metal plus dirt. On the other hand, while it's covered, it can't be treated with light to allow it to grow back. Maybe they made the right decision for once. Didn't expect that to happen in Spain!

OK ... But WHY do this: build such a mechanism to "remove" the field of play? It appears to be a synthetic surface, so it doesn't need water, sun or fertilizer. That means "storing" it under the stadium isn't that harmful to the "turf". BUT other ballparks and stadia allow for concert stages and other rough uses made on their fields, but they seem to handle that with padding/"flooring" instead of complicated hydraulic mechanical contraptions. Of course, if engineering is outlawed ... only outlaws will have engineers! Go Georgia Tech!
