It just looks crappy on TV compared to an outdoor stadium with real grass. That sheen and splotchieness of the field turf is terrible.

Put a retractable roof on the dome and put in a real grass field.

The lighting in the dome is old technology. Don't get me wrong, it's the current type of lighting used in all stadiums. But it won't be long before LED stadium lighting becomes popular.

Is the upgrade for sure and is it permanent?

I don't know much but I have stayed in a holiday inn recently so take it for what its worth.

The turf is upgraded every two years and the old turf is donated. This turf was actually just laid down before this season and the turf from last year was donated to southeastern university. As far as the lights, have you ever been in the dome?? Maybe you need a new TV??

Also, the turf looks spotty because sometimes the rubber gets piled in one spot. It does that from excessive running on it and before the games they usually rake them out.
