Shenandoah Univ. Hornets Buzzing on New FieldTurf

Shenandoah University has announced that it will be replacing its aged A-Turf synthetic turf surface, at Shentel Stadium’s Sprint Field, with FieldTurf’s XT system. The installation, which is projected to take up to six weeks, is slated to begin mid-June.

The new artificial surface will feature permanent inlaid lines for football, soccer, lacrosse and field hockey. The "SU" secondary logo, unveiled three years ago, will be sewn in at midfield.

The FieldTurf XT system features a slit-film fiber that has been designed to be the best of the best in terms of slit-film durability and softness, coupled with a 2-layer infill system of SBR Rubber and Silica Sand to provide a proper cushion.

FieldTurf’s XT system is featured at the University of Arizona, University of Notre Dame - Guglielmino Athletics Complex, Binghamton University and several other notable NCAA Division I, programs. It is also the artificial turf surface of choice of hundreds of high schools, colleges and universities across the U.S.
