I make my own mix, all from items found in Amazon! Everyone has their preference, and it all really depends on where you are located as far as humidity and how much rain you get. I live in San Diego, and most of my plants are outside and in containers. My plants are happiest with the following mix of equal parts:
I also like to add a layer to the bottom of my pots of:
'Hope that helps!! I feel like soil is really what makes or breaks succulents health, so making it as fast-draining as possible is key! With this mix, in the summer, I nearly have to water my babies daily to keep them from getting thirsty due to the excellent drainage :D

Do you currently have a terrarium, and if so, how much light does it get? My only concern is that type of grass probably likes full sun, so it may need to be by a bright window and/or supplemental lighting to be happy. This can easily roast plants however (especially in smaller closed containers), so make sure it is ventilated or doesn't get too hot.
If you want to know specifically how to set up a terrarium, its pretty easy.
You don't need any fertilizer, and I like using a dose of Superthrive if it looks like my plants are struggling.
You could also grow the sod in a container within a larger terrarium if you only have a little bit. If you want a baseball theme, you have plenty of creative options (like using a cubs helmet as a container, etc.).

The grittier, the better!! I don't like sand because I feel like (unless its coarse sand) the sand just soaks up water, instead of draining quickly.
