This week, we revisit a topic that we've only touched on briefly in the past: soccer pitches. We get into dimensions and the like, but (inspired by<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6315379/2025/04/29/wembley-groundsman-secrets/"> this article</a> from The Athletic), we spend much more time discussing the history of soccer pitches and how their construction and maintenance has evolved over time. From livestock grazing to keep grass length down to moisture meters telling robots when it's time for a watering, we've come a long way!WE HAVE A YOUTUBE CHANNEL!<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@Total-Soccer-Show">⁠We're posting all our episodes here⁠</a>!
