Large surface areas of perfect lush lawn can be damaged over a few hours especially when there are crowds of people walking over them. There are special considerations to keep in mind prior to an event taking place. How big is the area that is required for the event, how big is the pitch or the stadium, what is the floor size? What will be the purpose of the area that will be required? Is it for a dance floor, how much of the area will be covered and for how long?
