New FieldTurf installed at Saluki Stadium

CARBONDALE - Saluki Athletics recently completed the installation of new turf at Saluki Stadium. FieldTurf Classic HD was installed at the stadium, replacing the original turf that was put down in 2010. FieldTurf Classic HD has been designed to consistently outperform competing slit-film yarns in the industry. Complete with a very strong polymer and the proper concentration of UV stabilizers, the thick design and precision cut pattern of the HD yarn provides for even less infill splash than other slit-film yarns.

FieldTurf's Classic HD slit-film artificial turf fiber combines the durability of slit-film yarns with an upgraded production process to deliver the perfect combination of durability and softness. Its unique extrusion and inline precision cutter eliminates excess splitting, for longer-lasting performance and softness. It virtually eliminates any "Edge Decay" that exists on other artificial turf fibers.

Coupled with FieldTurf's patented, 3-layer, heavy infill system and state-of-the-art SureLock coating method, the FieldTurf Classic HD turf system has been designed to be the leading slit-film synthetic turf system in the industry with unparalleled player safety and turf drainage rates.

Designed for extreme durability with a high-end polymer and UV stabilizers along with a unique fiber shape and cut pattern.

Much softer to the touch and less abrasive in comparative tests than competing slit-film yarns - without sacrificing any characteristics related to durability.

FieldTurf Classic HD system features patented heavy three-layer infill with proven long-term safety characteristics.

Patented SureLock coating system leaves the backing 40 percent porous for unmatched drainage.
