Wesley College and FieldTurf – a Perfect Fit
In 2004, Wesley College decided to install FieldTurf for their primary field at Scott D. Miller Stadium – and the school has not looked back since. Since the installation of FieldTurf, among other renovations, the stadium has provided a huge home field advantage for the Wolverines. The football team has won 40 of its 42 games since the beginning of 2004.
Dover, DE, July 08, 2011 --(PR.com)-- School has played on FieldTurf since 2004 and their satisfaction remains as high as ever.
The theme for the Wolverines has always been success. In 2004, Wesley College decided to install FieldTurf for their primary field at Scott D. Miller Stadium – and the school has not looked back since. Since the installation of FieldTurf, among other renovations, the stadium has provided a huge home field advantage for the Wolverines. The football team has won 40 of its 42 games since the beginning of 2004.
FieldTurf has yielded results on the field while providing dividends to the school off the field as well.
Weather conditions in Delaware, in particular during the early months of the interscholastic season, can be very difficult and unpredictable at times. FieldTurf’s innovative product design guarantees that the field drains water faster than any other system, while enabling safe play in even the most extreme conditions. Such an advantage assures Wesley College that games will be played on time with reduced cancellations. Schools across the country rely heavily on the revenues they generate from their athletic department, and FieldTurf prides itself in its ability to offer a real asset to Wesley College moving forward.
“We are excited about continuing our partnership with FieldTurf going into the 2011 season,” said Athletic Director and Head Football Coach Mike Drass. “For the last 8 years FieldTurf has been part of Wesley College athletics and we could not be more satisfied with our decision. Over this time, our 47-3 home record is not only a testament to our players and coaches, but also to the surface we play on – and that’s FieldTurf.”
These sentiments echoed by Mr. Drass reflect the feelings of the school towards FieldTurf – and the feeling is mutual. Durability and long-term success is what FieldTurf prides itself on. It is examples such as these that define what FieldTurf is all about. A decade-long relationship that is ongoing is quite the impressive feat – especially in an industry that seeks long-term value from its products, while boasting many alternatives – some proven and some unproven. Providing real long-term value, tangible benefits and the very best investment is what sets FieldTurf apart from the competition, and makes for the #1 artificial turf manufacturer in the world.
