Rutgers Grass Powers World Cup Stadia

Rutgers turfgrass, engineered for soccer’s toughest demands, now graces ten World Cup stadiums across North America—offering perfect grip, bounce, and resilience under cleats and weather. Developed over two decades by plant scientists Stacy Bonos and James Murphy, this grass meets FIFA’s strict standards, prioritizing player safety and fair play. Though it won’t be at MetLife Stadium due to winter supply issues, its legacy is global, with Blue Note, Bolt, and Legend varieties also making waves. Researchers continue adapting to climate change, blending science and nature to cultivate the ideal playing surface—even deterring geese along the way.
