Austin FC represents the organization’s rapid and determined plans to hit the MLS
Expansion team Austin FC has installed the pitch in their new stadium, well ahead of their first MLS game in 2021. The Platinum TE Seashore Paspalum from Scottsdale, Az. is unique grass for MLS. The only other sight of the blades for soccer supporters will be in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
The team chose this grass species for its hardiness and assurance it would thrive in the stadium shade. After growing for six months in Scottsdale, 15 refrigerated trucks moved it to the Austin stadium.
