🤑 Messi’s club sells grass in bags for $725, merchandising madness

Bye bye Chase Stadium, hello Miami Freedom Park! The MLS club Inter Miami, where Lionel Messi is under contract among others, is moving to a new stadium.

If you want to keep a piece of memory from the stadium forever (or at least until it might not be quite so fresh anymore), where Messi and Co. won their first MLS title just a few weeks ago, you can now secure pieces of turf.

As stated on the club’s official website, the club is offering five different options to secure a piece of the “holy turf.”

The cheapest option, at around 50 US dollars, is an acrylic keychain. If you want to dig deeper into your pockets, the price range goes all the way up to the so-called “Ultra Box” for 750 US dollars. This not only contains a piece of turf, but also a gold-engraved metal ticket in an acrylic cube.

As ‘ProSoccerWire’ reports, the MLS champion is not the first club to come up with such an idea. Messi’s former club Barça also tried to generate additional revenue in this way when Camp Nou was closed for renovations. Back then, the prices were even higher.

Crazy, right? Would you buy a piece of turf that Messi’s boots touched for this price, or do you think the whole thing is a bit silly? Feel free to let us know in the comments!
