New York City has been saying this all along as their justification for denying permits to organized protesters of the RNC in NYC in a month for Central Park: it will ruin -- just ruin! -- the lawn.
And they weren't being disingenuous In a NYTimes Letter to the Editor, one of the lawn designers explains that the lawn could handle about 50,000 people, but was never designed to handle a 250,000 person event, and the lawn would indeed be ruined, with costly repairs.
Of course, what the city-folk seem to not realize, is the protesters regard the state of the union to hang in the balance, and given the choice between 4 more years of Beat'em-Harder Bush/Concentration-Camp-Cheney, and some turf replacement -- get out the trowels!
