I think they are going to be playing it on the plastic, but I'm not positive. I know they just installed new turf a few weeks ago.
Regarding ticketing, you are correct. The stadium only holds a tad over 20k, and you'd assume there would be a chunk of those seats being used by corporate entities (Adidas HQ, etc.). I know the Timbers Army do their best to stop scalping, there's not much you can do when StubHub is in cahoots with the club.
