Ten of sixteen stadiums across North America will feature fields made from this resilient grass, bred and tested at Rutgers’ massive 300-acre research farm in Freehold. With 51,000 test plots and a cleat-simulation machine, scientists have engineered turf that survives drought, heat, and disease—perfect for the world’s top athletes. While MetLife Stadium (hosting the final) uses warm-season Bermuda grass, most venues—from Philly to Mexico City—will showcase Rutgers’ cool-season turf. It’s a global stage for New Jersey’s quiet agricultural innovation, proving even the ground beneath the biggest games has a story.
