"It's terrible for the grass." Oh, wait . . .
The football season not so much.
My Indiana grass is looking good ... right now.

EPL teams have played many times on fake turf in the US during their summer pre-season tours.
They wouldn't be a big enough draw

I'm betting it will be Liverpool and hopefully NOT the Fire/Chicago, but maybe one of the other teams in the states for the International Champions Cup.
Liverpool would (rightly) refuse to play otherwise.
according to this article they just lay the sod right over the top of the artificial turf...I wondered if the artificial turf would have to come up but it doesn't.
