This. They have a dirt cheap longterm lease on the land, they own it (The Stadium) outright, and it's in an absolutely primo location. They aren't going to build a new stadium unless they have literally no other choice.
I've long thought that real grass was always just a red herring perpetually dangled by Beeston anyways. Putting in grass would be a huge undertaking... you'd need to rip out the concrete flooring, install a irrigation/drainage system, install a large air circulation infrastructure and appropriate lighting. After you've spent all that time and money what you're left with is a venue that you can now no longer book for different events (less outside revenue).
