The Most Dangerous Soccer Field 🏟️🤕

I was watching this clip of Messi and couldn’t believe how bad the field was, so I decided to look into it… Turns out, it’s worse than I ever could have imagined. This could be the most dangerous field in professional soccer. 🤕🏟️

Why? Because technically it’s not even a football pitch. For the last decade, MLS side NYCFC has shared a stadium with the New York Yankees—a less than ideal arrangement for several reasons:

A. It’s too small. 70×100 yards is exact minimum size requirement to play in the MLS.

B. The sod. In order to cover the infield, the club has to lay out strips of sod before almost every match. While this looks the part—it really isn’t effective, mainly because it’s not rooted to the ground, making for terrible pitch conditions whenever it’s too wet/dry.

Pretty shocking this sort of thing is allowed in professional footy, but ig space is a pretty big commodity in NYC. What do you guys think? #football #messi #soccer #sports #futbol #fail #shorts #footballshorts
