It always seems to fade to pinkish after a bit of time.

 

Lettering looks slightly different that previous. Maybe not quite as chunky. Don't mind it.

 

Good catch, I thought so too.  Could be the angle, but the lettering does look a bit more block style and less round and chunky.  I dig it.

They need to put some sunscreen SPF 100 on it.

I know you're joking but there are legitimately UV stabilizers in the plastic resin that creates the grass blades, which should help it maintain color better. Fun fact for the day.

They also installed some really powerful fog machines in Memorial Stadium.

Just what they really needed.  Maybe they will release fog every time the opponents get the ball?   The offense has been ‘foggy’ enough already.  
 

Maybe add snow machines or even a couple Tesla ‘lightning’ making towers to really spark the crowd and intimidate the competition?

 The green seems a bit darker and the red really pops. Most of that might just be because it’s new and not faded but it looks great.

 

To my eye as a photographer, it looks like somebody punched up the saturation too much in Photoshop. It looks about as real as the stuff you put in a kid's Easter basket. But I imagine that's done with the expectation of some degree of fading over the life of the turf.

For the light show when they play Thunderstruck!

Not sure how much intention is behind it or not, but it's definitely the case every time we get new turf.

 

 

Here's 2013:
