AstroTurf is not a new entrant trying to break into football. We have been part of the sport for six decades, starting from the moment synthetic turf changed the game in the 1960s. Over that time, AstroTurf surfaces have been represented on 11 Super Bowls and our company’s football legacy includes decades of use across professional, collegiate, scholastic, and community venues. That kind of staying power only happens when a surface keeps evolving.
And evolve it has. Modern AstroTurf systems are a world away from first-generation turf. Today’s football surfaces are built around infill stability, surface consistency, traction control, cleat interaction, and long-term durability. Our RootZone® technology, for example, is designed to help reduce infill migration and splash while maintaining a more uniform playing surface over time. In addition to our rootzone, our belief in More fiber and less fill matters because today’s game is faster, more powerful, and more demanding than ever. Modern football needs surfaces engineered for repeated high-load training, constant directional change, and season-long consistency, not just a field that looks good on installation day.
The testing framework is designed to determine whether a field system meets required performance criteria for use in professional stadium environments. For customers trying to understand which football fields are meeting the highest current standards, that distinction leads to a clear conclusion: AstroTurf has three systems that cleared that bar.
Get Your Field:
The best football fields are the ones backed by long-term innovation, proven history, and modern testing results. AstroTurf has all three. Six decades in football. Eleven Super Bowls. Three currently approved systems. And a product family that continues to modernize around what the game demands now, not what it demanded fifty years ago.
