quote:

Matrix® Turf is used by a wide range of clients from professional football teams including the Dallas Cowboys, to Division 1 Universities, and K-12 school districts. The original Matrix Turf is the foundation for all varieties of sport-specific Matrix Turf systems, and it was the first system developed with two different sized fibers in two different shades of green. The variation in the football field turf fibers’ size and color gives the turf the look and feel of a natural grass surface.

In addition to maintaining the aesthetics of natural grass, Matrix Turf has multiple features and benefits for football athletes. The combination of the turf fibers and selected infill results in increased control and footing, impact reduction, and also provides a slip resistant playing football turf system. These three characteristics are important to maintain a level of safety throughout football games. The Matrix Turf system also results in minimized “fly-out” and splashing, resulting in less downtime due to inclement weather.

Nice!


I hate the look of a fake field but I love the advances they are making. Superdome needs a new turf

Always liked ULL's football program. Hudspeth was a revelation for them.

Let me see if I can do this right.

Ahem.


Will they let local high schools use it so there can be meaningful games on the new turf?

Going to suck when SLU beats them in their first game on it.

I can only imagine the heat emanating from a black endzone on ANY kind of artificial surface. Sheer misery.

It is pathetic when a high school gets new turf, but the richest man in Louisiana, who doubles as the Saints' owner, will not get his football team new turf. Screw that greedy old bastard!

I saw USL beat A&M on a grass field in the 90's. The stadium looks exactly the same, except for the turf.

Why does USL have 'Louisiana' in the end zones?

They needed it. The old turf was in really bad condition. Needed to be replaced years ago.

Figured they'd want LOUISIANA to be more prominent...



That's better.

Have y'all ever had a crowd that large after the Southern game? The Jag always travels well.
