AstroTurf Chosen By Rams For Edward Jones Dome

AstroTurf®, the iconic synthetic turf brand, has been selected to install a new sports surface at the Edward Jones Dome for the 2010 St. Louis Rams football season. The decision was announced today jointly by the St. Louis Convention & Visitors Commission (CVC) and the St. Louis Rams. AstroTurf®’s innovative Magic Carpet® II™ Conversion System, which features its GameDay™3D Synthetic Turf System, will be in place for the Rams’ season opener.
 
“This turf 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.”

This installation marks the second AstroTurf® Stadium field in the National Football League, joining the Buffalo Bills, since the re-launch of the brand several years ago. Last fall, AstroTurf debuted a new advanced synthetic practice field at Rams Park.  The latest infilled systems from AstroTurf were designed and refined to meet the rigorous demands and performance characteristics required by the NFL.
