The stadium lawn Jose Zorrilla has been a headache in many seasons for those responsible for the Real Valladolid. The winters and the Castilian frosts make it very difficult to have the grass in perfect condition and this has been noticed over the years despite the immense efforts of the staff in charge of the subject. Economic hardships also added difficulty and the grass accumulated years. , parties and even concerts until finally it was changed up to two times in the last two years.
For some time now you can see how the stadium lawn receives 'sunbaths' through huge lamps installed on wheeled bridges that are installed in the stadium after matches and throughout the week and that are normally stored in the vicinity of Zorrilla.
Gone is that image in the game against him Barcelona of the 2018-19 campaign who went around the world because of the terrible state of a recently changed lawn that had not set and got up as if a herd of rabbits had been digging burrows to catch Messi. Last season the grass was renewed again after the club carried out the works that made the pit disappear and since then, Zorrilla's mat has been gradually improving until it presents an impeccable appearance in the last matches. This work of the moat led to a complete renovation of the drainage that has also benefited the state of the José Zorrilla pasture.
