FieldTurf Inc ., innovated the new-generation artificial grass in the late 80's and early 90's that was dramatically different from the old generation coarse, abrasive turf. This new "grass" was soft, yet extremely resilient. Importantly, it replicated all the biomechanical properties of natural grass and therefore became an instant hit with players, administrators, coaches, facilities owners etc.
Almost every game that needed grass as a surface immediately adopted FieldTurf as its most preferred artificial surface. Governing bodies such as FIFA, MLB, UEFA, PGA Tour, and NFL etc., all conferred the "approved" status on FieldTurf. Over the years, the FieldTurf "grass" has been further refined and improved upon.
Its success is reflected by its installations in over 3,000 stadiums and playgrounds across 55 countries. FieldTurf has been used as the surface for the 2006 & 2007 SUPERBOWL.
In India, FieldTurf has been installed for the 80,000 sft Football field at Chowgule College - the first of its kind in the SAARC countries.
