so played on artificial turf but fifa mandates it is on grass right? Because AT&T Stadium is an enclosed multi-use dome with a retractable roof, natural sunlight is insufficient. Crews had to install an extensive drainage system, 15,000 tons of material, and a massive overhead grid of pink LED grow lights to keep the real grass alive inside.
it will revert back to artificial grass after the competion is over. the estimated cost of this around a couple of million doallars.
then there is the small matter of the the macro world cup transformations ($180 million – $350 million): because at&t stadium's bowl was initially too narrow for fifa regulations, jerry jones and the cowboys invested up to $350 million in stadium upgrades since 2023.
this included multi-million dollar construction projects to blast out and remove concrete corner seating, widen the field perimeter, install sophisticated underground vacuum-ventilation and irrigation systems, and upgrade premium hospitality suites.
the world cup is f**king mental
