PHILADELPHIA, PA - July 17, 2007 - Sprinturf (www.sprinturf.com), the leading developer of synthetic turf systems, has installed an all-new practice football field on the main campus of the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. The project is worth an estimated $1.2 million.
"This project reflects our dedication to designing and installing state-of-the-art playing surfaces," said Stanley H. Greene, president and CEO of Sprinturf. "We are committed to providing the safest high performance synthetic fields - and that's exactly what we built for the U.S. Naval Academy."
The football practice field, known as Rip Miller Field, underwent a full removal of the old artificial turf and has been replaced with Sprinturf's sand and rubber infill artificial turf system, achieving the highest standards of safety and durability. The company is also scheduled to install a new rugby field for the Academy featuring the all-rubber infill system designed to increase safety and reduce the rate of player injury.
"We are very pleased with the field Sprinturf designed and installed for our institution," said Chet Gladchuk, Naval Academy director of athletics. "Their level of professionalism and commitment to quality and safety made this project a total success."
After a strong first quarter, average monthly field installs has increased more than 150 percent to date for Sprinturf. The company secured and completed the U.S. Naval Academy project based on the merit of its patented all-rubber infill system, history of safety and performance, and experienced board of directors and management team.
