Because 'Real Grass' (what's installed in the Alamodome), and Field Turf, have been approved surfaces for official FIFA games for a couple of years now.
I believe (and I could be wrong here) it can be used for just about anything except the World Cup Final.
Cheers!

According to the San Antonio Express-News, the Alamodome did not put down
grass for Mexico's home...err..Dominica's "home" WCQ match tonight. How did
they allow a World Cup Qualifier to be played on painted concrete (even if
the concrete is called "field turf")?
