The First Ever Matrix(TM) Synthetic Turf Field in the United States Succeeds in Texas.
AUSTIN, Texas, March 6 /PRNewswire/ -- The first ever Matrix(TM) synthetic
turf field in theUnited States is a success during the first season of play
at Frenship High School in West Texas.
"We are a playoff team and have played on a ton of fields, this one is by
far the best, our athletes love it and when you are in the stands the field
looks just like real grass," says Brad Davis, Head Football Coach and Athletic
Director at Frenship.
Matrix(TM) is made with a higher fiber content with yarn coming from
Austria, a country that delivers the finest in fiber technology. Matrix(TM)
fiber has been tested at the Austrian Research Institute of Chemistry and
Technique (ofi), one of the preeminent testing labs in the world.
"This field is super consistent in terms of shoe interface and ball bounce
while the G-MAX testing yields fantastic results," says Reed J. Seaton, Hellas
Construction's Chief Executive Officer. "The fibers vary in size and in color,
giving the field a beautiful natural grass look."
"I will put it to you this way, we have had 11 schools visit our field and
10 of those decided on Matrix before leaving our stadium," says Coach Davis.
"This field is our latest most advanced system, comprised of monofilament
spinneret yarn in two different sizes and colors," says Seaton. "This unique
design provides the best possible system with excellent light deflection under
stadium lights."
"Matrix is the best synthetic surface that I've ever been on, and the
closest thing to real grass I have ever seen," says Jim Loerwald, Athletic
Director at Round Rock ISD.
