RSL did pay for new turf about 6 years ago. The current surface had a 14-year warranty but is failing in half the time, similar to many other FieldTurf fields across the country. So FieldTurf is replacing this surface at a discount rather than continuing to repair it over the remaining life of the warranty.
My concern is how well the surface plays in a few weeks. KSL story about the difficulty FieldTurf has had with the field here:
