The Tahoma 31 the article is about is the same grass used at Lincoln Financial Field. Also for the Arkansas Razorbacks which had no complaints for its turf. So it's a perfectly good grass for football.

But the issue seems seems to come from a couple major changes that made it not quite Tahoma 31, at least not the same turf stand that has been successfully used in other stadiums. It was heavily overseeded with ryegrass for the aesthetic (dark green, good to paint), which means a lot of the grass isn't anchored as well as a conventionally grown stand without overseed.

But also that it was only installed two weeks ago. So heavily overseeded turf trying to re-establish roots while all the rehearsals and painting is going on. Overseeded grass rooted into a base turf that barely has time to re-establish it's own roots. End result is what they got last night.
