VENICE, Florida | AstroTurf.com | August 15, 2025 — The reigning FHSAA Class 7A state champions, the Venice High School Indians, are opening their 2025 campaign on a brand-new stage — a world-class AstroTurf® football field that matches the prestige of the program.
The surface, installed as part of a major stadium upgrade, reflects the school’s commitment to giving its student-athletes the very best. Built with advanced turf fibers and an engineered infill system, the field offers durability, speed, and player safety in all conditions. For a program as accomplished as Venice, it’s a home worthy of a champion.
“This project is a showcase of what makes AstroTurf special,” said Wes Allen, AstroTurf Regional Sales Manager in the Southeastern United States. “Venice is one of the premier programs in the country, and now they have a field that delivers championship-level performance every single day.”
