The switch to natural grass, for Lucas Oil, seems nearly impossible. Unlike other stadiums, Lucas Oil is not equipped with the irrigation and drainage required to grow and sustain natural grass. The implementation of the necessary irrigation and drainage systems would be very costly for the stadium.
The stadium is used year round with many events from college basket ball to conventions. They are going to put a pool in there for a swim event this year. The. Colts have a possibility of 12 dates every year. If they built the stadium outside the interstate loop they might have had the space to have a mobile turf like Arizona but it would not be practicle for the covention / non sports related events that go one every week in Indy.
