I think that all dome stadiums should sport real grass, because there are or might be advantages to teams who play in dome because of the turf. Plus real grass would make it feel likeyou are playin outside, which is more fun anyway,).

J Mike,speed or lack there of is the reason teams don’t like grass!Turf really gives you a chance to exploit teams with your speed players.Injuries are just a part of the game.Why do you think it is so hard to stop New Orleans,and the Rams at home?

Mike : I have always wondered why domed stadiums didn’t sport real grass turf. You can install the necessary lighting and adjust the indoor environment to make the grass happy. Considering the potential for injury on artificial turf, something like this would seem to be just a no-brainer.

I'm with you. I think cost and use are limiting factors. Most domed buildings get used by a ton of people -- high schools, colleges, pros, conventions, etc. With artificial turf getting better, it's just more cost effective to go with a solution that's cheaper and easier to move in and out. It would be great to have everyone on natural grass, though.
