I was under the impression that turf would be installed over the artificial turf which was to be in place in May.

If the soccer game is June 1 and the opening home game for the Esks is June 20, that only gives them 19 days to rip out the turf and install the artificial turf and have some time to settle.

I'd like to see if there is some confirmation out there if this is what's supposed to happen.

Don't know the logistics but either way there is a lot to do. But that would make sense. When I was there last week they had a lot to do yet.
