Looks like it might have a camber on it too. If its anything like The Etihad, when we were working pitch side, you couldn't see the base of the posts at the other end.

I think most pitches have a camber due to drainage. Very noticeable watching either Cit£h or United recently thinking about it

IIRC even back in the day before all the pitches were relaid, if you sat along the side at Anfield, you couldn't see the feet of the players on the other side of the pitch.
It's 106 miles to Portman Road, we've got a full tank of gas, half a round of Port Salut, it's dark... and we're wearing blue tinted sunglasses.

I think we know it’s using a synthetic stitch, like the SIS below:
But I’m intrigued by the composite boards they seem to be breathing a layer of?! Does that house the under soil heating piping and then the rooting soil is placed on top?
Certainly going to drain very quickly and need a lot of watering.
Can someone recall the name of the new pitch vendor/technology? on 09:23 - May 27 by unstableblue

Going to be quite a surface.
It’s a product called Permavoid made by poly pipe, it’s approx 80mm thick and is an interlocking attenuation crate. Its main function is to store water. It sits on top of the drainage ditches filled with shingle and slotted drain pipe. A permeable membrane sits on top, then the sand layer which the heating loops sit in. On top of that is a more soil based layer which the pitch grows in
