Gaels to Play on FieldTurf Revolution 360 at Richardson Stadium

KINGSTON, ON (March 23, 2016) – FieldTurf & Queen’s University are pleased to announce that Richardson Stadium will be converted to artificial turf as a component of the stadium’s redevelopment project. Revolution 360, FieldTurf’s latest innovation and the industry’s most durable fiber, will replace the stadium’s current natural grass surface. The project is slated to be completed by the start of the 2016 Gaels season.

Named after the concept of completeness, Revolution 360 is the industry’s first fiber to have achieved a score of 83 on the Fiber Performance Index (FPI), recently introduced to the marketplace by Labosport – a leading laboratory dedicated to sports surfaces and equipment. Revolution 360 is also the industry’s first fiber to withstand 30,000 Lisport cycles without showing any signs of wear, as shown in the latest results from a Lisport wear test conducted at Penn State’s Center for Sports Surface Research.

“We are very happy to have been chosen by Queen’s University. We are proud of the Revolution 360 product and we are certain that the Gaels will appreciate playing on their new high-performing and durable field,” said Eric Daliere, President, FieldTurf.

“Working with FieldTurf and the Gaels community on the stadium project and final design of the end zone has been a pleasure” said Leslie Dal Cin, Executive Director, Athletics & Recreation, Queen’s University. “We are excited for our athletes to experience the performance and durability that the Revolution 360 turf offers,”
