Is the new field going to be grass or turf?
Prescription Athletic Turf (Tifway 419 Bermuda Grass) will be the surface.
Do the Detroit Lions play at Miami this year?
Prescription Athletic Turf (Tifway 419 Bermuda Grass) will be the surface.
How quickly can that be ready? Like how long after they lay it down can a game be played without massive chunks coming up?

I actually just read the other day that with the new technologies and how the sod is grown fields can be safely played on almost immediately. I also don't think you have the issues with "chunks" coming up as it's put down in huge rolls and it's more of a seem issue,
Not sure if any of you follow the 49ers or not, I'm a 49ers fan. I remember last year with the new sod they put down at Levi stadium they had a continuous issue with it coming up and being a terrible playing condition.
That being said, when they finally ended up fixing the issue, it was when the players were doing a walk through on a Friday morning. They went in right after that, tore up the entire field and layed new surface and it was fine on Sunday.
Did I read there is a future plan that would (possibly) include a sliding, clear "cover" for the atrium (the center opening in the roof)?
The new design changes/upgrades essentially make this a new facility...

I just drove past the stadium after leaving the Marlins game and it's clear to me that they're doing everything possible to get the stadium ready ASAP. All of the cranes were working and it looked like lots of guys were working the afternoon shift. Not very concerned about the stadium being ready for 9/3 at this point.

I'm a 49ers fan and stuff like this is exactly what I had in mind when I asked the previous questions.
