My assumption is the black areas are rubber pellets that just need to be worked in, but it's the whiter or lighter areas that makes it look like a lower quality turf to me. Hopefully, I'm wrong and we just need a better picture.

Could be worse, I suppose. Like Tampa Bay Rays worse...

AstroTurf is a name brand, not the old concrete carpet from the dome days. Its field turf, just a different name. Not sure if you watched the college kickoff @ Reliant, but I believe its the same turf. It'll look fine come game time.
