I'd imagine they would implement something similar here. From wikipedia "Grow lights are suspended on six 70-metre trusses to encourage the growth of the grass in the shaded areas of the stadium, and they can be folded away under the North Stand when not in use.[162][163][87] The grass can also be maintained for up to 5 days with artificial lighting, air ventilation, dehumidification and irrigation systems when the pitch is retracted under the south podium" 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
