Hellas Construction to install turf at Jacksonville Jaguars’ new practice facility

Hellas Construction will install a new turf system at the Jacksonville Jaguars’ new practice facility. Hellas will install a Matrix Helix synthetic turf system with Geo CoolFill and Cushdrain pad.

The all-new Miller Electric Center, a joint partnership between the Jaguars and the City of Jacksonville, will include two outdoor fields and one indoor field.

“We want to ensure our players have access to the best facilities so they can continue to perform at their highest level,” Drew Frick, senior vice president of development for the Jacksonville Jaguars. said. “Having Hellas as a partner ensures we’re meeting that standard of excellence by putting a safe playing surface and quality product in our new indoor field.”

The turf system is Matrix Helix with the patented Helix Technology over a Cushdrain pad. Matrix Helix turf consists of twisted fibers that incorporate Shape Memory Technology, enabling the fibers to spring upright after use, enhancing playability, minimizing “splash out” of the infill material and providing a predictable playing surface. The Cushdrain is a paved in place shock pad over a laser-graded drain stone foundation. Geo CoolFill is a USDA-certified organic infill made of coconut and cork fibers that reduce field temperatures up to 40 degrees.

The new facility will open next summer ahead of the 2023 NFL season.
