Hellas Construction installs new soccer field system at AT&T Stadium
Hellas Construction installed a new SoftTop System soccer field at AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys.
The Cowboys currently have a SoftTop Field Conversion System that allows the facility to switch between a variety of events to maximize venue revenues. The SoftTop System allows crews to:
- Install and remove the synthetic turf within 12 hours
- Increase schedule flexibility
- Protect the turf during non-athletic events
Since 2009, the stadium has hosted the international soccer opening, quarterfinals, semi-final and gold-cup Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF) matches.
Third-party performance testing of synthetic and natural grass fields revealed that the surfaces perform virtually identically with respect to shock absorption, energy return to athletes, rotational resistance to cleats and a range of other metrics.
Hellas crews installed Matrix REAL synthetic turf with RealFill infill at AT&T Stadium. Matrix REAL features a predictable ball roll on the playing surface with a unique construction that encourages blade recovery.
