To Those Who Say Football Is A Religion, This Is Holy Ground.
Some of the greatest plays and games in football history, including nine Super Bowls, have taken place on AstroTurf® surfaces. Today, as part of the MSU Field Testing Project, we’re continually making advancements in safety and performance that are specifically engineered for American football. To millions, football is a sacred sport. And we’re proud to be part of it.

“This highly engineered AstroTurf® Magic Carpet™ II Conversion System gives us a more cost effective way to convert the Edward Jones Dome from a football facility to a convention facility,” said Nick Langella, Senior Vice President and General Manager of the America’s Center Convention Complex. “A convertible field is designed to be removed and stored away when not in use, which allows us the opportunity to produce conventions, trade shows and other economically important activities to take place in the Dome during football season.”

“AstroTurf®’s commitment to player performance and safety was a major factor in our decision. With poor weather delays pushing back the installation of the base and drainage system--and training camp quickly approaching--the team at AstroTurf® stepped up and pulled off what may be the fastest installation of a football field ever. From installation of the roll of turf to final completion, the installation took less than 4 days. Feedback from our players and coaches has been overwhelming. This could not have happened without an amazing effort from AstroTurf®.” - Kevin Demoff, St. Louis Rams Executive VP of Football Operations/Chief Operating Officer.

“We will play on a synthetic surface, AstroTurf® GameDay Grass™ 3D. We are going to be built for speed as a team and we need to play on a fast surface! This field will also be a football only field which allows our players access to it whenever they need it. We also plan on having the same surface on our practice fields. Play on it, practice on it.” -
