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. 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.
Holt Arena in Pocatello, ID. Due to the nature of the sport, football field synthetic turf demands a system that can optimize certain characteristics of the sport. Football athletes constantly sprint, tackle, and break away through the field during practice and official gameplay They must feel safe and natural as they compete without fear of slipping or losing their footing on inconsistent areas.
This requires a surface that is strong enough to withstand high traffic and the heavy wear of competitive play, and deliver the characteristics that athletes demand from a field. Specific to football, it's important to have a playing surface that returns energy to a player running on it and doesn't slow them down. A common example used to explain this is running on wet sand that is compacted versus dry sand that shifts — you get back more energy from the former than the latter.
It's what makes a secure infill and migration prevention by the fiber so important. As for shock absorption, that's critical for player safety. It serves as a cushion which helps reduce the impact of landing on the turf, like when players are tackled to the ground hard.
Beneath that infill is a triple-player polyurethane backing. Towsley said the tuft-bind process takes place at the company's textile mill in Chatsworth, Georgia — about miles north of Dadeville. The measurement is crucial for ensuring fibers withstand normal wear and tear over time.
For additional security, turf lock — defined by Hellas as "reinforced rivets that are injected into the turf at every inlay, logo, graphic, and field marking" — is installed.
A draining stone foundation represents the last layer. Collectively, the entire process to assemble the turf — from Dadeville to Chatsworth — took 17 days, according to Towsley. The turf was then sent to Los Angeles to be installed. Final field material is on the way to Inglewood! When Rams players take the field, they and their fans will have peace of mind about the surface the team will be playing on.
And it's us working closely with the NFL, the players association, Biocore and other entities that do testing and clean interface. It's the best playing surface I believe that's out there, and it's artificial turf. Beginning Oct. Following updated guidance issued by California public health officials, the Rams will host a full stadium this season.
