Providing shade to the seats is typically what will defeat a grass field.  Essentially you're building a cylinder so that the whole field only gets sun around noon. As the sun moves throughout the day, the field won't see enough sun to grow properly.

PS. If you're getting season tickets make sure you're in the right direction/section of the stadium.  Fortunately my dad (engineer) chose us seats on the north side of the Texans stadium for that specific reason, so we were good throughout the game. But looking to the southwest side of the stadium, you could see that the sunlight literally carved a large section where fans would have to retreat to the concourse during the summer/early fall games.
