Texas Rangers Choose Artificial Turf After 2 Years of Research 

The Texas Rangers opened a new stadium called the Globe Life Field in 2020. The year prior, they selected to install artificial turf as the arena’s playing ground. The organization made the decision based on “nearly two years of sports science research into grass vs. next generation turf.” The Rangers senior medical director, James Reed, stated, “I’m very confident this is going to be the best artificial playing surface in the game. It will be the safest for our players and for the fans.”

The Rangers’ stadium also benefits from having a field that is viable year-round without heavy maintenance. The Arizona Diamondbacks chose to install sports field turf at Chase stadium for a similar reason. Their environment makes it difficult to maintain natural grass. By selecting synthetic turf for stadiums, both the Rangers and Diamondbacks have a safer playing surface that always stays green! 

Cost of Synthetic Turf for Stadiums Beats Live Sod 

Safe play is a good reason to choose synthetic turf for stadiums. However, it is not the only way that artificial grass beats a live field. When you look at the maintenance cost of natural lawn, it is easy for team owners to make the switch to artificial turf. Once synthetic grass is in place, you do not need to water or mow it. An artificial field is easy to care for and stays in top shape game after game. The reduced labor costs can help teams clear more earnings per game. Who would not want that kind of boost?

Here are some of the maintenance costs you would save on:  

• Mowing equipment
• Fertilization 
• Irrigation monitoring
• Overseeding
• Labor
• Thatch and clipping removal
• Topdressing
• Coring
• Water
