The current state of the pitch at River Plate's stadium raises questions ahead of a demanding schedule, including matches for the Apertura Tournament, the Copa Sudamericana, and the upcoming game against Boca. Recovery work has already begun at Núñez to try to get the field into the best possible conditions. Although this scenario was somewhat anticipated, the pitch's current condition is below the stadium's usual standards. This situation also puts a spotlight on event organization, handled by DF Entertainment. Following AC/DC's concerts at the Monumental Stadium, the pitch showed visible deterioration in various areas. According to Argentine News Agency, the field is affected by a combination of factors, including rain, humidity, and prolonged coverage with special materials during events. With a tight schedule ahead, the focus remains on the pitch's condition, a key concern for the 'Millionaires' fans. Sources linked to pitch maintenance suggest that the protection level during the concerts may have been inadequate for such intensive use, pointing to insufficient planning in preserving the turf. There is even an analysis of whether the materials used, such as the covers, met the required standards, as the observed damage is greater than expected for this type of event. On the other hand, the club had previously highlighted the virtues of the hybrid grass system installed at the stadium, designed to withstand intensive use and adverse weather conditions.
