Would it tear up the field any worse than the hundreds of galloping, turning horses, riders & swinging mallets?? 
TV population has probably more than doubled in size since many of these events were started and there seems to have been zero venue planning regarding the inevitable self imposed scale.
This can be said of many things here though, not just the Strawberry festival... |
The Balloon Fair was well over a month ago. Plenty of time for the field to recover...
As far as horses tearing up the fields, have you ever seen what happens when a horse goes down during a Polo match? It's not pretty...
They want to start with a good field. If it gets torn up during the match, so be it.
Hoof prints are much different than tire ruts and thousands of people stomping down the field...
