you could do things like use a 3d skybox to make the stadium look like it's in a city or up near some mountains.
i would also say maybe a domed stadium but it will probably cause balls to hit the roof if u threw them too high if you're trying to throw a ball across the entirety of the field.
I definitely plan to use the CS:GO engine to its full potential, I'm kind of looking to create a sort of HD, realistic re-imagining of fm_stadium/stadiumtwo. It may not look very similar, but I want it to have a somewhat similar feel. I was also interested in using a 3D skybox. I had an idea where the stadium could have a slightly open design on one side, allowing you a view of some mountains in the distance, possibly through some fog/snow.
As far as the dome goes, those stadiums are generally tall enough to avoid the ball hitting the ceiling (I made a couple dome stadium replicas in 1.6), although I don't think a dome is a good idea for a default map.
