Sports Turf Company renovated Sharp Stadium’s existing natural grass field into an artificial turf system that surpasses others in safety, durability and performance. The system features Astro Turf’s RootZone® 3D System, Brock shock pad and BrockFILL. AstroTurf’s system is a performance artificial turf that combines slit-film and monofilament fibers with a RootZone layer of texturized fibers for optimum durability and better shock absorbency. The Brock shock pad and BrockFILL are specifically engineered to optimize safety for athletes during impacts to the surface. BrockFILL is the latest in organic infills and is sustainably grown and harvested in Georgia.
