The current surface was installed in 2008:

"Lucas Oil Stadium, home of the NFL’s Indianapolis Colts, features a “Classic HD,” turf field manufactured by Fieldturf. In 2010, Lucas Oil Stadium was voted by the NFL Players Association the number one artificial surface in the NFL, all according to Fieldturf’s website.
It appears that their "new" top end product is named "core" with "classic HD" being their lower cost primary sports option.

They have a line that touts "true ball roll" (Vertrex and Vertrex Prime), a non-sports line (Revolutio 360, XM7, Vintage) and then some that are designed for field hockey (Hockey Gold, Hockey Speed, Hockey Multi).

The Classic HD series was rated for a decade of use which is where we are at with it. My guess is that this was a known, planned upgrade to replace the "end of life" original Classic HD product.

It is interesting that there are almost no news articles about this.

Walk Worthy,
