Horseshit. Lincoln isn't used a fraction compared to Met Life, and that doesn't include two pro teams using Met Life.
Just a flat-out lie.
Lincoln Financial gets used a ton. What do you work for the Maras? They may not have 2 pro teams in there but it's getting used for Temple games plus a myriad of concerts, monster truck shows, fitness expos, etc just like any major stadium.
MetLife just continues to find ways to be a shitty stadium. You'd think the easiest thing to not fuck up would be the playing surface.

A simple "event search" for both stadiums shows Metlife hosting double to triple the events as Lincoln Financial. Metlife will have 10-20 concerts there this summer season while the Linc only has 5-7
To install grass. They just put in a new synthetic so let’s see how that works out.
Nonsense. Philly gets used a few times a year less and has a grass field. They just went the cheapest and easiest route
It's not just "a few times a year less" it's that the few times a year less are all in Q4 when the grass would get obliterated by overuse and no regrowth.
That's why Pittsburgh and Philly (both have an NFL tenant and a college tenant) are not comparable to MetLife. The college schedule is over before winter even begins.
RE: RE: Imagine thinking this would be a relevant point.
Who's the second NFL team that uses the Bills' new stadium? And what does the projected usage for non-football events look like?
You couldn't just ask yourself "is this really an apples to apples comparison?" before posting this here?
Gee, I guess those non-football events are more important than injuries to the players!
Do you think frozen mud is safer than cushioned turf? Because that's what would happen.
The non-football events are a profit center - they're not going anywhere. When you're ready to reframe your argument to exist in the real world, come back.

Look at and compare the stadium calendars, dipshit.

This isn't really true. Looking at the event calendars, the Linc has 8 non-football events between now and the season. Met Life has 19 non-football events THROUGH the season and thats with having a football game on that field almost every week.

I didnt realize Temple started playing there in 2020. Still, its a pretty wide gap in events

Lincoln Financial Field regularly hosts the Army-Navy game in december, so in those years it's basically 1 absolute max 2x more that MetLife gets used in December. And they never seem to have a problem. MetLife absolutely could have natural grass they just do not want to invest the money into maintaining it properly so it makes it through entire season.
Lincoln Financial Field was used December 4th, 10th, January 1st, January 8th, January 21st, January 29th.
At no point in that stretch was the field in poor condition. 4 out of 5 weekends in January it was played on and this is how it looked on January 29th.
If Philly can handle it just fine playing on it 4 of 5 weekends in January there is no reason MetLife can't do the same.

We're just ignoring three weeks off in late December?
Leave the playoffs out of it because it's not something that you can plan for too far in advance, but even there, the Jets and Giants could both be in the playoffs at the same time, and both could conceivably host games. That would also be twice as much use as Philly could even host in the first place.
From Labor Day to the end of the NFL regular season, how many weekends was MetLife Stadium completely dormant? And which weekends were they?

So essentially 34 events to 15. Just saying.
