THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY FROM FIELDTURF COOLS OFF TOP FOOTBALL PROGRAMS

(September 24, 2013) – Starting with the University of Maryland in 2012, the innovative FieldTurf CoolPlay system has quickly become the preferred solution of elite programs to reduce surface temperature without any reduction in field performance. The University of Arizona, University of Tulsa, University of Nebraska, and North Carolina State, to name a few, all join the impressive list of schools that turned to FieldTurf CoolPlay.

“We couldn’t be happier with the new FieldTurf CoolPlay turf system,” said University of Tulsa Associate Vice-President Terry Hossack. “The field is noticeably cooler as promised and the players love it! The CoolPlay system is a great way to battle the Oklahoma heat and keep our players safe. It is impressive how FieldTurf created a cool high performance artificial turf system; it’s just what we needed. ”

“We’ve been extremely pleased with our FieldTurf CoolPlay that was installed at Arizona Stadium,” said University of Arizona Director of Athletics Greg Byrne. “The surface has provided a great enhancement to our stadium and has served as a benefit for our coaches and student-athletes because of the quality of service and its much lower temperature than normal artificial surfaces. The FieldTurf, along with our other stadium upgrades, has made a tremendous difference in our environment at Arizona Stadium.”

“This FieldTurf project has been an overall success for the University of Maryland,” said University of Maryland Director of Athletics Kevin Anderson. “Our playing surface at Capital One Field at Byrd Stadium has improved student-athlete safety through this innovative CoolPlay technology. We also now have had the ability to attract outside events to our campus, generating revenue and continuing to improve the on-campus lives of our students and our community.”

FieldTurf’s exclusive cork infill allows the CoolPlay system to deliver the same behavior and overall stability as FieldTurf’s elite system fields found in the world’s most famous stadiums. CoolPlay was designed to reduce the heat without any reduction in field performance.
