Signature Systems Blog Prioritize the Game with Innovative Turf Management Systems for Stadiums and Venues

The pressure to maintain playing surfaces while hosting various events can be overwhelming for stadium managers. It might come as no surprise that the annual expenses for maintaining an artificial turf sports field can vary from $7,000 to $23,000 – depending on the field's dimensions, location, turf type, and equipment specifications.  A venue's turf endures significant stress. Proper turf protection is of the utmost importance for every type of event, from concerts and commencements to trade shows and festivals. The safety of attendees and the longevity of the field for sporting events are highly dependent on making the right choices when it comes to selecting innovative products that provide the right kind of protection for a stadium or venue.  Innovative turf management systems can go beyond safeguarding stadium turf protection and streamline operations to help maximize a venue's revenue potential. What is turf protection? The term "turf protection" describes applying techniques and materials intended to prevent harm to grass surfaces at stadiums and other venues during events such as trade exhibitions, festivals, and concerts. Temporary flooring and panels are the best options to prevent excessive foot traffic and equipment-related grass compression, ripping, and destruction. These protective measures guarantee the safety of guests, preserve the quality of the playing field for sporting events, and enable venues to accommodate a range of events without compromising the integrity of the turf.
