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.




Old



no black endzones = win

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.

Awesome! My number one complaint with the old turf was the black endzones.

Great look with the red.

Black just didn't make sense for us.

With the red endzone and white lettering, it makes it look a lot cleaner.

Should have used the fluer de lis logo at mid field.

I hated the black end zones. I don't like when teams try to incorporate black when it's not one of the primary colors.

Seems so 90s imo.

Red and white is clean.

Yeah I kinda like that idea, that Ragin cajuns logo is huge.

Could of put Louisiana in one endzone and Ragin Cajuns in the other

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?

I'm very rarely a fan of the word mark logo. I absolutely hate it on our helmets. Just too busy. Simpler is better.

The FDL is unique, it's simple and it's associated with Louisiana. It's already the primary logo for academics, athletics should go that route and make it their main logo.




That combo on the left is GOAT.

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

Eliminating the black was great. I was shocked Adidas did so well with the unis last year, they looked great.
