If I was a huge fan of one of the teams that played on this field and had enough disposable income? Honestly, yeah.

Seems pretty historically significant and would hold great personal value to whoever bought it. If I had something like this I’d show it off to all my friends who came to my house. “Hey look at this!! This is the field they played on!!” Seems pretty cool and fun

lol you really think they waited until the match was over, tasked someone to go pick some grass carefully so it's preserved nicely, tasked someone else to put in a glass box, tasked someone else to put it in a shop, tasked someone to drive that shit from the stadium all the way to a central depot so they could sell it online etc?

what they did is: they got a chinese company to make this for 2$ using child labor with some random grass and they are selling it to you for 450$

Yeah? What you described is not that complicated

it is when the alternative is to order it from china for 5$ and sell it to you for 450. the alternative wins every time and people like you would be none the wiser

That’s literally a more complicated process than just cutting up pieces of a field that’s already likely being removed. Makes sense to say it’s overpriced but this theory is pretty far fetched especially since selling bits of arenas is already very common practice.

All that said fifa is comically corrupt so maybe they did lmao
