There has been a lot of press on the new field at Yankee stadium since it was just built. Delea Sod provided the sod, and you can buy the seed blend they used. For a while you could buy the extra sod they grew at Home Depots in the NYC area. I am not sure if it will list the cultivars on the seed bag, but I haven't been able to find that info on the internet. Whatever they used, their selections will probably be different than a home lawn. First of all, the cultivars have to be tolerant of low mowing heights, as that field is cut every day at heights much lower than your lawn. It also has to be fairly wear tolerant, not as much as a soccer or football field, but more than your average lawn. The field itself is very fast draining, I think it has a foot layer of sand as well as gravel under the sod, which means it is watered daily if it's not raining. I doubt the cultivars used have a lot of shade tolerance, since there is shade only when the sun is low enough to be blocked by the stadium. Plus don't forget, there is a person with a crew whose only job is to care for that field, and they have the whole spectrum of products to use at their disposal. That blend is perfect for the stadium, but I am willing to bet it would not be good for most home lawns.

I love Barbie Boops things but where is Barbie Boop??

We picked our tile to match the plaster color and then picked coping stone to match the tile. I don't think there is a right or wrong way to do it but we wanted a more natural look so we wanted it to blend together. However there of plenty of pools on here that look great that went with blue colors for the tile to match the water color, regardless of what stone they were using. West facing back yard in Texas makes me think "hot". I would put some thought into water temperature management since you are using black plaster and plenty of umbrella sleeves in the deck or other means for shade.
