During this opening  Flemish minister for Sport, Philip Muyters, and  the mayor of Antwerp, Patrick Janssens,  explain how Flanders and the of city Antwerp are investing  together in  artificial grass soccer pitches. Playing on artificial grass has many advantages. Artificial grass can be played on up to five times longer than natural grass in practically all weather conditions. Artificial grass also provides higher playing comfort and a faster, more technical play on a safer playing surface. The pitch “Het Rooi” in Berchem and the “Jef Mermansstadion” in Merksem are the two first pitches that are  ready to play on. By the summer of 2012 all 29 Domo-pitches in the first cluster will be realised.
