Americana Lawn: Still Closed; Dead

The lawn at The Americana is still disappointingly closed on weekdays. The lawn has not coped well with the stages set up for the recent series of concerts. Was there a similar situation with the grass at The Grove or is this unique?

Stay Off The Green (Temporarily)

The grass at the public park in the Americana had just a few days to establish itself before being flooded by thousands of people- many of them wearing high heels. As a result of this, the grass is now very tired and brown. This picture shows the contrast between fresh sod and the current state of the grass:

To combat this, The Green has been temporarily closed to allow the grass time to recover. However, this policy doesn't seem to be too friendly to dog owners, who are already up in arms over The Americana's 25lb limit on canines. Here is a dog owner who hopped over the velvet rope to let his dog poop before being shooed away by security.

It was really fun watching the lone security guard run all over the place trying to keep people off the grass.
