The turf in question was replaced in 2017.
I am confused about this part. Typo?
In 2017, when the field was replaced, FieldTurf did the work again. At that point, the company did not install a different type of field, not Duraspine.

That threw me off too. Gotta be a typo.

The turf saw another upgrade in the summer of 2017 with FieldTurf providing its newest product.

Probably not a typo. Its the news trying to sell news when it's not really news at all.
Always read the news with a grain of salt. Even local news.

At the very least, or, a sweet sponsorship deal on the new stadium or IPF!

I think we got the upgraded field turf in 2017 unless someone can verify differently.

It’s not self consistent, has to be a typo:

Suggests Duraspine was installed again. (Beginning of article cites Duraspine as being the original/problem turf.)
not Duraspine.
Suggestst... well, Duraspine was not installed again.
