I agree, but if they don't want any wear on the field at all, they can test the field without playing matches.

In other words, what they really need to test is electronics and communications, and that can be tested without having physical robots beating up the field (whether that wear and tear is significant or not is up for debate, but if they wanted people to use the fields before the finals, they wouldn't make a whole new field just for Einstein, so they'd probably prefer if nobody used it before the finals.)
