I am in the process of putting the same in at one of our high schools and had to do the entire package of drainage, base, and all for under a million. Maumee Bay Turf aka Turf Nation is also doing my field with the exact same material. He told me months ago he was doing Paycor Field so I choose the same Turf. I would guess 500000- 550000 for their new turf.

"Hamilton County Commissioners unanimously voted Thursday to purchase new turf for Paycor Stadium, which will cost taxpayers $981,461."

That's $12b in just national revenue, so not counting local. Kind of absurd regardless of how much the expense is.
