At least not at prime time sports levels.
Even for indoor stadiums, there are self-powered uV light racks that can robotically expose the grass to sufficient uV during the hours a field goes unused.
For high schools, the appeal of the low maintenance costs don't go away, but major league sports don't have those financial concerns. It's a pittance relative to the cash flow.
