:thumbsup: The Astrodome in Houston, opened on April 12, 1965, was the first ballpark in the big leagues with artificial surface. The stadium was the first dome in major league history, and it featured artificial turf, or Astroturf, which later became popular in many major league ballparks.

They actually tried to grow grass in the dome at first, didn't work.
