FieldTurf is Firmly Planted in the Garden State Yet Again in 2010

Tenton, NJ (Vocus) November 3, 2010

Schools, municipalities and sports organizations at all levels across the great state of New Jersey have once again made FieldTurf the #1 choice of artificial turf systems. 2010 was another record setting year for FieldTurf with 50 sports field installations in New Jersey alone. With the feedback coming from FieldTurf’s customers themselves, this is due largely in part to the product’s unrivaled safety features along with its proven longevity and superior performance characteristics that makes for a great investment.

Adding 50 more installs in NJ in 2010 brings the total amount of FieldTurf installations in the Garden State to over 340.

With 2010 coming to a close, once again FieldTurf was the product of choice by an overwhelming margin – 9 out of 10 (90%) organizations that purchased synthetic turf fields this year chose FieldTurf.

One of the higher profile users selecting FieldTurf this year is the NY Giants/NY Jets at the New Meadowlands Stadium. FieldTurf introduced an exclusive, innovative end zone tray system at the new stadium so that each NFL team has its own custom end zones.

Other users such as High School teams and Collegiate squads play over a third set of trays which are just green. The NY Giants also have FieldTurf for the indoor and outdoor fields at their Timex training facility.

Rutgers University recently upgraded to FieldTurf Durapsine Pro as a part of the football stadium expansion program, while Princeton University installed its 3rd and 4th FieldTurf surface this year.

Fairleigh Dickenson has chosen FieldTurf for a 3rd time as well for its baseball stadium field upgrade. Rider University was also added to the already impressive list of collegiate users in the state. FieldTurf is now used at 23 college level fields in NJ alone representing almost all collegiate level fields throughout the State.

High school users of FieldTurf remain the product’s #1 fan. New Jersey is now home to a total of 150 high school fields, with over 110 of them being public high schools. In 2010, sixteen new high schools chose FieldTurf. Ten were public High Schools and six were private. These sixteen High School fields represent 100% of all high school fields in New Jersey that were purchased to date in 2010.

FieldTurf is proud to announce the recent addition of 6 new fields at the private high school level – Oratory Prep, Notre Dame Prep HS, Red Bank Catholic HS, Union Catholic HS, and Delbarton Prep (2).

Private high school users now total 37 which include some nationally recognized athletic programs such as Don Bosco Prep, Bergen Catholic, St Peters Prep, St. Joe’s HS, and many others in addition to the recent installations listed above.

With regards to the obvious preference of FieldTurf systems throughout the state of New Jersey, no other artificial turf company won a single high school field project in 2010 and almost every college using an infilled artificial turf surface has selected FieldTurf over all others since 1998.

FieldTurf’s 50 fields amounted to over 4,000,000 square feet of artificial turf on sports fields in the state of New Jersey in 2010.

Southwest Greens Designs and Installs a Synthetic Golf Green at Two-Time U.S. Open Winner Retief Goosen’s New Home

Two-Time U.S. Open Champion Retief Goosen puts on his new Southwest Greens synthetic putting green

Atlanta, Ga. (PRWEB) October 26, 2011

Upon moving into his new home in Surrey, England, two-time U.S. Open golf champion Retief Goosen had Southwest Greens design and install a state-of-the-art synthetic golf green. Having had a Southwest Greens golf green at his former house, which he used regularly for putting and chipping, Goosen was keen to replicate an updated version at his new home.

“I am delighted with my new green,” said Retief Goosen. “I really appreciate the effort Southwest Greens has taken to listen to my requirements; not only designing an excellent practice facility for me at home, but the amazing shaping work they did, redesigning the garden area and incorporating the green perfectly with the surrounds.”

Working with the experts at Southwest Greens, Goosen’s vision became a reality, with the new installation placing an emphasis on longer chipping shots, as well as putting with a 300m2 zone (with 120m2 of it being the synthetic golf green). Using a professional golf course shaper, Southwest Greens was able to provide Goosen with a challenging golf hole with various options to assist him in practicing all types of short game golf shots. With Southwest Greens’ trademarked sand-filled Pro System, the green accepts approach shots from any distance; with the ball bite and ball roll reacting like a PGA-caliber surface.

“On behalf of the entire Southwest Greens team, I would like to say what a pleasure it has been to work with Retief and to be associated with one of the world’s greatest golfers,” said President of Southwest Greens Europe, Middle East and Africa, Kevin Holinaty.

Southwest Greens International provides synthetic putting greens that are low maintenance, longer-bladed and that exhibit natural ball roll and ball speed control. Leading the industry in both technology and installations, Southwest Greens’ artificial golf greens and synthetic putting greens exhibit a lifelike quality with natural appearance and playability and continue to be recognized by amateur and professional golfers alike. For more information on Southwest Greens, visit their websites at: http://www.southwestgreens.com, http://www.southwestgreens.co.uk and the Southwest Greens Facebook page.

Tampa Bay Rays All-Star Evan Longoria Joins the FieldTurf Team

Tampa Bay, FL (Vocus) May 4, 2010

FieldTurf and Tampa Bay Rays All-Star third-baseman Evan Longoria have signed a partnership agreement. The Tampa Bay Rays currently play on FieldTurf at Tropicana Field and initially began play on the world’s most trusted brand of artificial turf in 2000.

As part of the partnership between FieldTurf and Longoria, the 2009 Gold Glove Award Winner will be the official “face” of FieldTurf’s baseball division. Presently, there are over 350 FieldTurf baseball fields, and that number is growing at a rapid pace – largely because of the consistent ball bounce and performance properties associated with the patented FieldTurf system.

“I am extremely proud to be associated with the brand that has become synonymous with high performance in the world of baseball,” said Longoria. “Playing on FieldTurf certainly leads to truer hops and a more consistent ball bounce – especially when compared to grass infields and other kinds of artificial turf. Knowing exactly how the ball will react once it hits the surface contributes largely to my abilities to properly field ground balls and read how the ball will react when coming off of a bat. The consistency that comes with playing on FieldTurf was certainly a factor that contributed to me winning the 2009 Gold Glove.”

“There is no question that Evan Longoria is one of the preeminent names in all of baseball,” said FieldTurf President Eric Daliere. “Being one of the game’s best hitters, in addition to being named to the All-Star team and winning a Gold Glove, is certainly no fluke. Evan’s commitment to being the best and his success on FieldTurf is very exciting to us. This is a tremendous opportunity to form a partnership with one of the most exciting individuals in the game today. The baseball product that we have developed is without question the finest in the world. FieldTurf is extremely proud of its position as the worldwide leader in synthetic turf surfacing, and we very much look forward to working with Evan.”

In addition to the Tampa Bay Rays, the New York Mets practice on FieldTurf while the surface is also utilized at various facilities throughout minor league baseball, such as PGE Park, home to the Portland Beavers. FieldTurf’s college baseball installations are also quickly expanding, with over 25 NCAA D-1 schools playing and/or practicing on FieldTurf. Oregon State, University of Texas, Texas Tech, University of Oregon, Washington State, University of Louisville, University of Michigan, University of Illinois, Rutgers University, and Kansas State University are just some of the NCAA D-1 schools that have chosen FieldTurf for baseball.

About Evan Longoria

Evan Longoria went from being undrafted in high school, to Rio Hondo Junior College to becoming the highest-drafted player ever out of Long Beach State (third overall in 2006). Evan played his first full season in the majors in 2009 after playing in 122 games in 2008. In 2009, he established career highs in almost every offensive category with 33 homers, 44 doubles and 113 RBI. Only 3 others in Major League history have reached those numbers in one season before the age of 24. Evan was the youngest to win a Gold Glove at any position since ATL Jeff Francoeur (age 23 in 2007) and the youngest in the AL since Chavez in 2001. He was the second Ray ever to earn a Gold Glove and was the youngest in either league to win a Silver Slugger in 2009. Evan is only the 2nd AL third baseman in the last 12 years to win the Gold Glove and Silver Slugger in the same season. In 2009, Evan joined 3-time All-Star Carl Crawford as the only Rays position player to be selected to more than one All-Star Game.

Atlanta-based ClosureTurf? Helps Landfills Go Green

Atlanta-based ClosureTurf™ Helps Landfills Go Green

Closure Turf™ combines a drainage system and geomembrane barrier with durable synthetic turf for a long life of superior performance and aesthetics.

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) October 07, 2011

The solid waste industry has “gone green.” Facing increased regulations, tighter budgets and community pressure, landfills are looking to reduce their environmental impact. One opportunity is through the use of ClosureTurf™, a ground-breaking closure system that has helped many landfills increase long term performance while simultaneously reducing their carbon footprint by up to 75 percent.

Landfills are required to perform temporary, or intermediate, closure once individual landfill cells are full, and then install a “final cap” once a landfill has reached its maximum permitted capacity. ClosureTurf™, distributed by Agru America, is an engineered system that drastically reduces the time, cost and environmental impact associated with landfill closure. Composed of a specialized artificial turf layer over an impermeable structured geomembrane, ClosureTurf™ can be laid directly on the required intermediate soil cover, thereby eliminating the standard two feet of soil and grass used in the traditional closure process. A recent installation in California found that by using ClosureTurf™, landfill operators removed over 40,000 truck trips from the road and saved over 10 acres of land from destruction. The artificial turf, which can be customized to site specifications, requires no maintenance and fertilization further reducing air, water and noise pollution.

Landfill engineers Mike Ayers and Jose Urrutia created ClosureTurf™ after witnessing the common failure and poor performance of both traditional closure and Exposed Geomembrane Cover Systems (EGCS). Unlike traditional methods, ClosureTurf™ is not vulnerable to erosion, gas pressure buildup, earthquake loads, poor maintenance and inadequate post-closure oversight. EGCS, while lessening the environmental impact of traditional installation, still present many disadvantages such as wind uplift issues, accessibility, standing water and negative aesthetics. By infilling the turf with sand to act as ballast, ClosureTurf™ does not require EGCS’ numerous anchor trenches to provide wind resistance. This allows faster, “close as you go” capping, resulting in quicker control of odors and gas emissions. Also, the turf and sand combination creates a high drainage capacity allowing surface water to filter through rapidly and virtually silt free. ClosureTurf’s HDPD yarns protect the impermeable liner from weathering and its components work together to allow post-closure traffic access – most small rubber-tired vehicles and low ground pressure equipment can operate on the material without causing damage.

ClosureTurf™ provides both immediate and long term environmental benefits. As more and more landfills are converted into “energy parks,” operators, including Progressive Waste Solutions (formerly IESI-BFI), appreciate ClosureTurf’s ability to serve as a platform for future renewable energy initiatives. Solar developers welcome the ease in which solar panels can be integrated into the system while providing a clean and easily accessible solar field. For landfill gas projects, the system enhances gas collection resulting in a more efficient waste-to-energy process. Notes Director of Operations Delaney Lewis, “with more and more landfills seeking to harvest landfill gas for energy generation, it has become increasingly important to maintain the quality of the methane produced. ClosureTurf’s™ impermeable barrier captures 100% of the emissions while creating very little condensate. The fact that ClosureTurf™ can help turn what was once a hazard into a commodity with economic and environmental benefits is very satisfying.”

University of Minnesota Selects Fieldturf for Brand New TCF Bank Stadium

FieldTurf Logo

Minneapolis, MN (Vocus) June 10, 2009

Chalk up another major victory for FieldTurf, the undisputed world leader in artificial turf. The University of Minnesota has selected FieldTurf for installation at the brand new TCF Bank Stadium that will open this fall on the campus of UM, it was officially announced today by Golden Gophers Director of Athletics Joel Maturi and FieldTurf CEO Joe Fields. The sparkling 50,000-seat facility will officially debut on September 12 when the Gophers host Air Force.

Eight Big Ten teams will play their home games on FieldTurf this season as Minnesota joins Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Northwestern, Ohio State and Wisconsin.

“When we selected the field for TCF Bank Stadium, our goal was to install the best possible playing surface for our student-athletes,” said Maturi. “Our players tested several options and the overwhelming consensus was that FieldTurf was the best. We are proud to partner with a company that is widely considered to be the industry leader in playing surfaces.”

“TCF Bank Stadium is the best on-campus football facility in the nation, and I’m very excited about the fact that the Golden Gophers will be playing on FieldTurf in our new facility,” said Minnesota Head Football Coach Tim Brewster. “Everything about TCF Bank Stadium is first-class and we couldn’t be more thrilled that we will have FieldTurf as our playing surface.”

“There’s no doubt that TCF Bank Stadium is a gorgeous facility, and it is quite an honor for FieldTurf to be chosen as the inaugural playing surface for this fabulous new stadium,” said Fields. “The fact that the Gophers have been playing on FieldTurf at the Metrodome, and that it was important to the university to continue to have their football team play on FieldTurf, is very much appreciated by us. Mr. Maturi, Coach Brewster and the rest of the UM athletics family know that FieldTurf provides the ultimate in both safety and playability. With eight conference stadiums, we at FieldTurf almost feel like we’ve unofficially become the official turf of the Big Ten. We won’t disappoint the Gophers or their fans.”

TCF Bank Stadium will be completed at a total cost of $ 288.5 million with a goal of being the finest on-campus stadium in college football. Ground was broken on TCF Bank Stadium in September, 2006, and the actual construction began in July, 2007. With a traditional horseshoe-style shape, the facility’s skeleton consist of more than 8800 tons of steel, 97% of which is recycled. The stadium will boast the second-largest video board in all of college football.

More than 60 top NCAA universities currently play their home games on FieldTurf. In addition to Big Ten schools, others include Nebraska, Texas, Kansas, Missouri, Texas Tech, Kansas State, West Virginia, Washington, Oregon, Boston College, Rutgers, Syracuse, Cincinnati and Louisville. Twenty-one of the NFL’s 32 teams presently utilize FieldTurf in their stadiums and/or practice facilities. In addition, MLB’s Tampa Bay Rays, Minnesota Twins and Toronto Blue Jays have FieldTurf at their respective stadiums.

The NFL Players Association released their bi-annual ranking of NFL stadium fields during a January 29 press conference in Tampa prior to the Super Bowl. Once again, the results tabbed FieldTurf as the runaway leader among all artificial turf brands. In data gathered from polling/voting of over 1500 NFL players, 40% of the league’s Top Ten surfaces were FieldTurf fields. In addition, four of the top five and eight of the top ten artificial turf fields in the league are FieldTurf, according to that NFLPA data.

FieldTurf offers industry leading engineering and manufacturing resources, unparalleled leasing and financing capabilities and leads the synthetic turf industry with regard to setting higher environmental standards. FieldTurf is the global market leader in terms of synthetic sports fields with over 3000 fields installed. Additionally, FieldTurf has attained over 12,000 satisfied customers in high quality pet, residential, commercial and municipal landscaping solutions, playground surfacing and has a complete range of golf and tennis products. FieldTurf synthetic turf customers enjoy the benefits of significantly reduced water consumption, the elimination of fertilizer and pesticides, superior durability and drainage and a product that looks and feels real. The positive environmental impact of FieldTurf provides the added benefit of LEED building contributions.

‘Beyond Your Ordinary’ playground creates kid-friendly dining experience in Katy, Texas

Dippty-Do-Dah

St. Augustine, FL (PRWEB) August 16, 2011

The “Beyond Your Ordinary” playground group recently completed the design and delivery of two large play areas at All Stars Family Grill in Katy, Texas. BYO Playground is a worldwide commercial playground equipment dealer headquartered in St. Augustine, Fla.

“Being a family-oriented business, the playgrounds are everything,” said Tony Orlando, owner and operator of All Stars Family Grill. “I knew the playground was my hook. It sets me apart from the competition. I needed a reputable company to make it work.”

According to Orlando, he designed his restaurant specifically so that parents can have a delicious and enjoyable dining experience where their children are welcome. The two outside play areas are separated by age group with one 1,800 square-foot patio area featuring a play structure for toddlers while the larger 2,200 square-foot area features equipment for the older kids. The custom 5-12 year old play structure, named the “Dippty-Do-Dah,” was developed with Orlando’s desire for a spiral slide and a rock climbing wall in mind, and enough challenge and interest for an older demographic. Both playgrounds are adjacent to outdoor seating and big screen televisions.

“A lot of dining decisions are made around where you can take your kids,” said Orlando, who owned a sports bar until he had children of his own. “We want our guests to be able to enjoy the great food we have here and know that their kids are welcome. Many restaurant concepts are about moving people in and out. We are about getting people in and letting them hang out.”

To help realize Orlando’s vision, BYO representative Kerry Hoff and an in-house design team spent several months developing a themed outdoor play area, using architectural plans for the restaurant to determine dimensions and optimal placement. The ability to customize play structures enabled the BYO team to devise a creative and workable solution in a narrow, elongated space along the side of the building. Artificial playground turf was used for quick drainage and drying.

“Tony is very passionate about providing a safe and fun experience for kids,” Hoff said, noting that Orlando purchased child-size tables from BYO and placed awnings on the building to help keep the play equipment cool and dry.

“Because we offer so many different varieties of products and options, we really enjoy projects where there is room for a lot of creativity,” Hoff said. “We also love working with clients like Tony who have a unique vision and share our passion for providing safe and entertaining play areas for children and families.”

Orlando was pleased with the customer service from BYO, and after nearly ten weeks of business, is confident his investment is paying off.

“We have something for everyone,” Orlando said. “People come in and they are having a great time. Everyone’s happy with it. They just knocked it out of the park.”

According to Orlando, the play structures were among the first projects completed during the construction of his restaurant. “As colorful as it is, the playground out front is basically our advertising,” Orlando said.

For more information about BYO Playgrounds unique playground solutions, contact Sean Lamb, sales director, at 800-853-5316, ext. 412 or sean(at)byoplayground(dot)com.

Goals Soccer Center Chooses California Ultimate Turf To Install 80,000 Square Feet of TigerTurf for 11 Fields at First U.S. Facility

Rendering of Goals Soccer Centre’s first U.S. facility, featuring 80,000 square feet of TigerTurf

Austin, TX (PRWEB) June 3, 2010

California Ultimate Turf (CUT), an authorized representative of TigerTurf Americas, has completed the installation of 80,000 square feet of TigerTurf’s advanced XP40 artificial turf product at the first U.S. Goals Soccer Center which is expected to open in early June in Los Angeles.

Goals Soccer Centres is the United Kingdom’s largest five-a-side soccer program. The Los Angeles facility will be accessible to people of all skill levels and ages who want to play five-a-side soccer. The new U.S. Goals Soccer Center complex is situated on 3.5 acres and also includes a player-guest lounge, locker rooms, batting cages, and parking lot.

“Our mission is to bring unique programming to Goals Soccer Centers to meet the varied needs of the Southern California soccer community,” said Les Allan, president and chief executive office of Goals Soccer Center operations in the U.S. “From the creation of five-a-side leagues to youth tournaments to clinics, and everything in between, players of all skill levels and ages will have a reason to visit our facility and play the game loved around the world.”

Allan explained that he chose California-based CUT to construct 11 fields and complete the turf installation with TigerTurf’s XP40 product after an extensive evaluation of artificial turf options, visits to numerous TigerTurf installations, discussions with soccer players, and even kicking a soccer ball himself across several TigerTurf fields. Allan’s personal research also included evaluating a TigerTurf field in the midst of a major rainstorm.

The 11 fields are each 33 yards by 22 yards and designed for around five players per team, leading to fast-paced action that uses a regulation size soccer ball and smaller goals. Similar sized fields are popular around the globe and some of the world’s greatest soccer athletes that will be playing in South Africa this summer honed their skills playing five-a-side soccer.

“The team at California Ultimate Turf was very impressive and very professional. They won me over,” Allan said. “Our new Goals Soccer Center in Los Angeles is the best facility of its kind in the United States. Because it is truly a world class facility, I was not willing to compromise on the quality of the turf. I wanted the best turf available.”

Allan pointed to these key factors in the selection of TigerTurf XP40:

The quality of play:

“Without question, TigerTurf was No. 1. I could look at the players after they played on a TigerTurf field and clearly see that they had a good experience. Based on my own experience as a soccer player, I want a field that plays evenly, consistently and is forgiving on my body,” Allan commented.

Durability

“TigerTurf could withstand high usage. We don’t want to have to replace the turf any time soon,” said Allan.

Ease of maintenance

“This was important to us because it reduces time, labor and costs,” Allan noted.

“All of us on the California Ultimate Turf team are excited about our role in developing what is the first five-a-side soccer facility in the U.S. The Goals Soccer Center will provide significant recreational opportunities for so many in the Los Angeles area and we’re thrilled that TigerTurf is the surface of choice,” said Doug Coulter, CUT president.
