The Aviva Stadium and Páirc Uí Chaoimh in Cork have installed 5% fake grass on their new pitches.
The first new pitch in six years at the Aviva was installed just in time for the Ireland v Italy game on Saturday 10 August. Down in the Rebel County, work on the pitch at Páirc Uí Chaoimh is to begin in September and be ready for the 2020 Allianz Leagues.
Both pitches are made from SISGrass, which I’m told is 95% natural grass, with synthetic fibres inserted into the turf. Apparently that helps to extend the playing hours and improve pitch recovery.
