The FieldTurf concept is simple. The best
surface for athletic contests is good natural
grass. And synthetic turf should be like
grass, not carpet.

Dramatically Different From All Other Turf The
most striking difference is that instead of a
dense, abrasive rug, FieldTurfs fiber surface is
soft, silky - like new blades of grass in a
spring meadow.

Patented Infill Exceeds 10 Lbs. Per Sq.
Ft. Patented silica sand and
cryogenic rubber infill is
almost 3 times as heavy
as any competing system. Cryogenic
Rubber Cryogenic rubber is rounded,
does not attract microscopic
bubbles of air which causes
ambient rubber to float.

Open Fiber Matrix Design engineering allows
cleats to penetrate the fiber surface, twist
and release. Superior Surface Stability Very
stable, uniform, predictable system preferred
by elite athletes.
ALL RUBBER INFILL
The shoe of a runner cutting sharply will
penetrate an all rubber infill right to the
bottom of the carpet.
FIELDTURF INFILL
The same shoe will barely penetrate the very top
surface of FieldTurfs superior layered system.

NFL Players Choose FieldTurf Over 20 Natural
Grass Fields The National Football League
Players Association recently released their
bi-annual ranking of NFL stadium fields. A total
of 1280 active NFL players from all 32 teams
completed 2002 survey forms. Of the 30 NFL
stadium fields rated by the players, FieldTurfs
surface at Seahawks Stadium was ranked third
best overall, ahead of 20 natural grass fields
used by NFL teams and far ahead of any other
artificial field. Amazingly, only natural grass
fields at Tampa Bay and Arizona were ranked
higher than FieldTurf by NFL players.
