  1. Natural Grass –Made Better

  2. Fieldturf Duraspine Monofilament

  3. THE Fiber The arched profile of this monofilament fiber is based on similar structures found in nature. Extruded through a "spinnerette," this “true” monofilament fiber delivers unmatched durability, especially resistance to wear. Tests indicate that although this fiber is far more durable, it remains silky and lush, just like nature intended. The monofilament system is available in over 20 colors. Infill The washed silica sand does not break down from use or heavy traffic. The cryogenic rubber is recycled rubber, frozen and shattered, creating smooth-sided spherical particles. As compared to 3 pounds of ambient rubber found in most other artificial turf, each square foot of FieldTurf contains 7 pounds of silica sand plus 3 pounds of cryogenic rubber. A base layer of silica sand is followed by up to 21 individual layers of mixed silica sand and cryogenic rubber and then topped with a final layer of specially graded cryogenic rubber which stays on the top of the infill system. Backing The fibers are tufted (stitched) into the backing material in rows according to a patented wide gauge spacing formula that enables cleats to penetrate the infill material rather than the surface fiber. This provides excellent traction and very low torsion resistance that prevents injuries. Our patented “finger unit system” adds an impermeable coating over the back of each row of stitching, creating a chemical and mechanical bond for enhanced "tuft bind," leaving the rest of the backing material totally permeable and creating rows of superior drainage channels. MONOFILAMENT SYSTEM Fiber A durable "spine" runs vertically through the center of each fiber providing unmatched "memory" and resistance to matting. Treated with UV inhibiters, the fiber is more resistant to foot traffic yet remains silky and non-abrasive. Infill A durable "spine" runs vertically through the center of each fiber providing unmatched "memory" and resistance to matting. Treated with UV inhibiters, the fiber is more resistant to foot traffic yet remains silky and non-abrasive. Backing The backing is made of a combination of permeable woven and non-woven poly- propylene fabrics to provide exceptional strength and unmatched vertical drainage. Silica Sand Cryogenic Rubber

  4. Who Plays on FieldTurf? From FieldTurf's first high profile installation at Nebraska's Memorial Stadium in 1997, FieldTurf has become the #1 choice in Division 1 football - with 25 stadiums and 22 practice fields.

  5. Who Plays on FieldTurf? There is one thing that NFL owners, stadium managers, coaches, athletic directors and players all agree on. FieldTurf. FieldTurf is far and away the industry leader with 21 of the NFL's 32 teams currently using FieldTurf at their stadiums and/or practice facilities. NFL Stadiums NFL Practice Fields • Atlanta Falcons • Cincinnati Bengals • Detroit Lions • Indianapolis Colts • Minnesota Vikings • New York Giants • New York Jets • Seattle Seahawks • St.Louis Rams • Atlanta • Cleveland • Denver • Detroit • Green Bay • Houston • Indianapolis • Jacksonville • Kansas City • New England • New Orleans • New York (Giants) • New York (Jets) • Oakland • Pittsburgh • Seattle • St.Louis • Tennessee

  6. Who Plays on FieldTurf? For every NFL Stadium we build, there are 40 high schools playing on our turf! Our competitors say, “You don’t need FieldTurf. You can’t afford FieldTurf. Your high school field isn’t Paul Brown Stadium!” They try to sell you a cheaper product. But you get what you pay for. To lower the price something has to give - the quality of the fiber, the infill or the installation. Our Engineered System is identical wherever it is installed - at hundreds of High Schools or at The Georgia Dome. Do the research and you will find that testing proves FieldTurf is the safest system you can buy. FieldTurf is the choice of the NFL, the NCAA and pro teams around the world. But no pro team spends millions to watch its injured investment sit on the sidelines. Nor should any school limit their investment in student safety. Some of our 450 High School Champions • Bergen Catholic (NJ) • Boston College (MA) • Celina (TX) • Colerain (OH) • Don Bosco Prep (NJ) • Georgetown Prep (MD) • Highland Park (TX) • Hun (NJ) • Jenks (OK) • Jesuit (OR) • Lake Oswego (OR) • Lincoln-Way East (IL) • McKeesport (PA) • Memphis University (TN) • Pasco (WA) • Pittsburgh North Hills (PA) • Plano (TX) • Pope John XXIII (NJ) • Southlake Carroll (TX) • St. Peter's Prep (NJ) • Valley Christian (CA) • Wayzata (MN) • Wheaton-Warrenville South (IL) • Wimberley (TX) • Xaverian Brothers (MA)

  7. FIFA Who Plays on FieldTurf? FieldTurf was the very first artificial surface to attain FIFA Recommended status due to its superior grass-like performance, which soccer players prefer. FieldTurf was the 1st artificial pitch to host a UEFA Cup Qualifying Round (Torpedo, Moscow); and the 1st to host a FIFA Soccer Tournament (Jeux de la Francophonie). FieldTurf has passed the international governing body’s most stringent testing and has more FIFA Recommended pitches than anyone else. FieldTurf is also UEFA Certified. "Since we purchased our first FieldTurf pitch in 2001, we have been extremely pleased with its performance and for us at the Youth Academy there was no other choice when the indoor hall was built. We continue to be thoroughly satisfied with FieldTurf." John Beattie, Stadium Manager - Arsenal Football Club PLC "Football players of every age - as well as the professionals of the premier league - were all very enthusiastic about the FieldTurf pitch. It offers excellent playing conditions and training - even in winter - and the risk of injuries is minimal. For this reason, we decided to get a new FieldTurf Pitch in 2005." Klaus Allofs, Manager - SV Werder Bremen, 1

  8. Who Plays on FieldTurf? FieldTurf's major league inventions and unique patented systems are hitting home runs at over 140 FieldTurf Baseball Fields. Only the stable surface of a FieldTurf baseball field can ensure fast, grass like ball bounce on artificial turf. Two other contributions FieldTurf has made to baseball are FieldTurf's patented "Baseball System" and a unique "Convertible Tray System." Professional baseball teams playing on FieldTurf include the Minnesota Twins at the Metrodome, the Toronto Blue Jays' Rogers Dome, The Tampa Bay Devil Rays’ Tropicana Field, the Tokyo Giants’ Tokyo Dome, the Yokohama Bay Stars’ Yokohama Stadium and the Guerreros de Oaxaca’s Eduardo Vasconcelos Stadium. FieldTurf is also used extensively now at the NCAA Division I level, including stadiums at Cincinnati, Kent State, Louisville, Washington, Washington State and National Champions, the Oregon State Beavers.

  9. All Purpose Multi-Use Surface A TURF FOR ALL REASONS AND ALL SEASONS Convert quickly and easily from sports events to conventions or concerts. Professionals depend on the flexibility and convenience of staging events right on top of FieldTurf with no damage to the surface. The solid load bearing capacity of the patented sand and cryogenic rubber infill system allows vehicles to drive directly on the surface. Three Games in Four Days. Can Your Grass do That? During preparation for the Peach Bowl, an NFL Game andthe Sugar Bowl, Georgia Dome’s maintenance crew created and removed 25 different logos and end zones, applying six hundred gallons of paint in 31 different colors. Then they washed it out through the system with another six hundred gallons of water! From high heels to big wheels, FieldTurf is the toughest turf in the business.
