They can grow the grass underground. Quite insane.
They're marvels of engineering. But, what a cost to get some pretty grass. Especially the Madrid implementation - not just the engineering of the lifters/underground facility, but the ongoing electrical expense running all those lights and irrigation systems? Maybe it's really just a drop in the bucket of building a massive stadium, or running a professional sports team, but I can't help buy think we (humans) have our priorities all mixed up.
