Lock Haven University Upgrades to AstroTurf Trionic
LOCK HAVEN, Pa. — When the Lock Haven University football team takes the field this fall at Hubert Jack Stadium, they will play on one of the most technologically advanced surfaces in the world. On top of that, they will be making tackles and scoring touchdowns on what is widely considered the safest product in the industry.
Lock Haven has replaced its former synthetic turf field with AstroTurf’s Trionic fiber — a breakthrough blend of blend polyethylene (PE) and nylon fibers that is quickly revolutionizing the synthetic turf world. To produce Trionic fiber, polyethylene and nylon molecules are fused into a copolymer and then extruded as a single fiber. The process chemically blends polyethylene with nylon, providing the softness of current fibers with the durability, strength and resilience of nylon. These qualities played a key role in Lock Haven’s decision to replace its field with AstroTurf Trionic.
“I am extremely happy that Lock Haven University made the decision to replace our old playing surface with one of the safest products in the industry — AstroTurf,” said Dr. Tom Gioglio, Lock Haven Director of Athletics. “The AstroTurf life cycle cost was reasonably priced for being a state of the art product that utilizes Trionic fiber. I was also impressed with the knowledgeable sales team that ensured the timely execution of the installation so we did not have to reschedule our events.” 
The Bald Eagles christen the field on Sept. 8 with their home opener football game against Clarion University. Jack Stadium, which opened in 1975, is named in honor of Hubert H. Jack, the former Lock Haven football head coach from 1946-68 and head wrestling mentor from 1942-64. The field features a stunning crimson and white bald eagle at the 50 yard line.
In addition to superior performance, Lock Haven will enjoy unmatched durability. So far, more than 700,000 square feet of Trionic fiber have been installed at carefully selected beta sites around the country, with varying usage amounts and ultraviolet (UV) exposure.

Everett Wants to Battle the Elements with AstroTurf
Everett, WA – Ken Griffey, Jr. hit his first professional home run here, and now Everett Memorial Stadium plans on hosting on another baseball icon, AstroTurf®. The home of the Everett AquaSox, a Mariners Minor League affiliate, will soon have a new look thanks to state-of-the-art synthetic turf from AstroTurf. Memorial Stadium, owned and operated by Everett Public Schools, is building on its long and storied history that dates all the way back to 1947.
In addition to the AquaSox, Everett High School, Everett Community College and the Everett Merchants also play their baseball games at Memorial Stadium. The decision to convert to artificial turf was influenced by a history of difficulties preparing the field for spring baseball at the end of the Pacific Northwest rainy season which saw the Seagulls of Everett High School play zero games at the stadium last year, while the Everett CC Trojans managed 
to squeeze in just two. Working from a DA Hogan & Associates design, excavation of the grounds was recently completed by Premier Field Development, a local field contractor that handled site work and drainage. Coast-to-Coast Turf, a certified AstroTurf distributor based in Seattle, installed the new artificial turf.
The new stadium turf at Everett Memorial Stadium will feature a synthetic turf system from AstroTurf’s Diamond Series product lineup. The Diamond Series is designed to emulate the look, feel, and playability of a natural surface without all of the muddy puddles and mess. The artificial grass has been engineered to replicate the ball roll and bounce found on grass, while the short-pile, I Fiber with RootZone turf used in the skin area, replicates the ball roll and bounce you would find on clay. Seamlessly integrated into one field, the Diamond Series delivers an incredibly durable, beautiful baseball surface that can handle high usage and inclement weather.
The field upgrade project is a joint venture between the Everett Public Schools, the Everett AquaSox, and Snohomish County. In addition to increasing the availability of the facility to its current occupants, the school district also hopes the new surface will enable the venue to host district and regional playoff games as it has in the past. Perhaps one of the many ball players to play on Everett Memorial Stadium’s new turf will one day have a plaque outside the stadium denoting their first home run, just like Junior.

Perennial Football Powerhouse Chooses AstroTurf
ALLIANCE, Ohio — When the University of Mount Union Purple Raiders began searching for a new company to upgrade its practice field to artificial turf, they turned to the leading innovator in the industry – AstroTurf.
With Mount Union’s tradition of excellence on the football field, it was only fitting the artificial turf they practice on meets similar, stringent criteria of excellence. Mount Union had used the same company for two generations of synthetic turf, but after searching through all options, the university chose the RootZone 3DSF by AstroTurf®.
AstroTurf 3DSF utilizes a slit film fiber that is the workhorse of the synthetic turf industry. It has good aesthetics and is best for facilities that will experience extremely heavy use. It is highlighted by AstroTurf’s patented RootZone sub-layer, a texturized fiber that stabilizes infill and improves shock absorbency.
“We searched to find a company who not only provided the highest quality turf systems but also for a strong partner whose values parallel a championship program” Blaine Lewis, Director of Mount Union’s Physical Plant.
The project is vital to Mount Union as it will provide an all-sports practice facility for all Mount Union students. As part of the 116,000-square-foot project, the field will be lined for football and soccer but will be used by all of Mount Union’s Athletic Programs. Next to the field will be a special area lined with extra markings for players to conduct drills and participate in small group sessions. The on-campus field is next to Mount Union Stadium, which was built in 1913 and has the title of the oldest college football stadium in Ohio.
The Mount Union football team is a juggernaut, having won 13 Division III National Championships and 28 Ohio Athletic Conference titles. From 1992 through 2015, the Purple Raiders won an astounding 24 straight conference titles. Mount Union holds the NCAA football record for consecutive victories with 55. That amazing run was set from 2000 to 2003.
