Turf looks good. I was afraid the state outline would make it look too busy but it’s not that noticeable and the SOW looks great! 

I also love the darker color of the turf compared to the old one.  I was wondering why they were putting the logo "Building Champions.  Preparing Leaders" under the visitor's bench.  It won't be noticeable during a game but in pictures like this it looks good.

I do wish they would have dyed the concrete in the stadium during construction.  The drab grey looks dirty with the shadows from the seats.  I have no idea how much it would have cost to do so. 

I have never heard of any stadium doing this.  What color would work to offset the shadows?

Good question.  Perhaps a tan color to match the exterior?  You don't see a lot of dyed concrete which makes me think it might be really expensive for such a large project.

While they are at it, I wish they would paint the silver metal frame of the steps from the concourse to the upper deck.  A nice, you know, green would be good.

The cost of stained concrete can vary greatly. For a basic application of a single stain color with sealer and minimal surface prep, most contractors charge between $2 and $4 per square foot.  So it would have been very expensive.

Y'all need to start loving the look of concrete.  It's an amazing building material, and one we do well in Texas and have a long history of doing so.  Emil Remond, one of the early members of the La Reunion Utopian Socialist colony west of the (then) town of Dallas, starting promoting the concrete industry after buying up many of the other colony members land in the 1880's.  Link: https://dallasgateway.com/cement-city-follows-emile-remonds-discovery/
