Winnipeg Blue Bombers to Begin FieldTurf Installation
CFL Team will move into new home in 2013 and play on new FieldTurf Revolution surface
Winnipeg, Canada, October 04, 2012 --(PR.com)-- The Winnipeg Blue Bombers are joining the revolution! Team officials have announced that the playing surface at Investors Group Field will be FieldTurf Revolution. Installation of the turf surface will begin this week. This new, state-of-the-art facility will be home to both the CFL’s Winnipeg Blue Bombers, and the CIS University of Manitoba Bisons.
“We’re looking forward to the move to Investors Group Field, especially to our new FieldTurf Revolution surface,” said Blue Bombers President and CEO Garth Buchko. “Many of our peers in the Canadian Football League play on FieldTurf surfaces, and we feel with this installation it puts us on an even playing field. This product is proven throughout the industry to be one of the best, and we look forward to seeing it deliver results in our great city.”
FieldTurf will be a welcome addition to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, especially in the cold winter months when the CFL Playoffs are played. Snowy climates don’t affect FieldTurf, and the product delivers the same performance features and easy maintenance even in the toughest times. With the University of Manitoba also playing its home games at the venue, usage rates will be high – however FieldTurf is built strong to withstand high frequency of games played on it without any wear and tear.
FieldTurf Revolution is one of the most innovative products in the artificial turf industry. The FieldTurf Revolution fiber is a result of cutting edge science, engineering, and technology that provides customers with a soft yet strong monofilament fiber that’s been designed for high durability and performance.
“The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have a strong history and we’re proud that FieldTurf will be part of their new home,” said FieldTurf President Eric Daliere. “With FieldTurf Revolution, Investors Group Field will rival the best stadiums in the country, and offer the Bombers a safe and high performing surface to excel on.”
In the CFL, FieldTurf is the clear surface of choice. This list also includes the Montreal Alouettes, Saskatchewan Roughriders, Edmonton Eskimos and the Calgary Stampeders. FieldTurf also has an influence in CIS Football with just under 10 teams playing their home games on FieldTurf. In addition to many Canadian facilities, multiple NFL teams use FieldTurf including the New England Patriots, Detroit Lions, New York Giants/Jets, Atlanta Falcons, Seattle Seahawks and Indianapolis Colts.
