I think that problem can be solved without a roof, but I see two other possibly major problems:
1) Grass needs time to recover between matches. That means the training facility, at least the field, needs to come first.
2) Peregrine holds the lease on PP. Will Paulson foot the bill for grass? Will the Bathals be willing to pay, given that they're only subletting? Can they work out a cost sharing deal?
I've wondered about that. The PCL Beavers played roughly 15 seasons on the original PP grass, and OSU and the Ducks football teams played their higher profile games there for decades. PP had grass for the first 75 years of its existence, and one would assume that playing surface was adequate, at least.
That might require putting in grass at PP. Then would you need a retractable roof so it doesn't get torn apart immediately and become a muddy mess?

How do they finagle it in northern UK & Scandinavia? Soggy and about seventeen minutes of light in winter.
High end draining systems. And then they wheel lights over the pitch.
Make it so, Number One.
Also, and write this down, moss and grass are nearly the same. Did you write that down?
Even Chelsea Women had more than a couple of matches postponed due the pitch was frozen in recent years.
