Yes, it is still turf, but its basically new, it was installed about 2 years ago and it was the latest generation.

2 reasons why there's turf:

According to the team, there is or were thermal waters or hotspots under the soil and they don't let the grass grow completely. That's why they chose turf.

Also, California and Baja California are suffering a serious drought. It doesn't rain much and turf saves them money and water.

Not really, most games kick off is at 7:00 PM local time, even at summer time, most of the game is played at dusk, and during most of the season, game are at night, and actually in the winter months it can get a bit chilly (by southern Californian standards).

The orientation of the stand with the 3 tiers of boxes, means that in the afternoon, is shadows most of the stadium.
If games were at noon, my opinion would be very different thought. But LigaMX most popular kick of times are 7 or 8 PM.

I have been to at least 100 games in attendance at this stadium.
