PGE Park
State-of-the-Art Functionality

New for the 2008 season of events, a state-of-the-art FieldTurf playing surface will be featured at PGE Park.

The result of years of research, FieldTurf features a patented FieldTurf infill mix of silica sand and cryogenic rubber and a patented layering process that delivers a system which emulates natural grass. Additional benefits are found in improved player safety, reduced maintenance costs and flexibility for conversion - allowing stadium managers to quickly change the field from one sport to another or to easily host a variety of sporting events, concerts and other special events directly on top of the FieldTurf surface.

FieldTurf is currently used at three Major League Baseball parks (Minnesota, Tampa Bay, Toronto), seven professional soccer venues – New England Revolution (MLS), New York Red Bulls (MLS), Real Salt Lake (MLS), Toronto FC (MLS), Atlanta Silverbacks (USL), Rochester Raging Rhinos (USL) and Seattle Sounders (USL), and has been selected by 21 of the 32 teams in the National Football League, including the Seattle Seahawks at Qwest Field. In addition, FieldTurf is featured at college sports stadiums and fields at several area schools, including Oregon, Oregon State, Washington, Washington State, University of Portland and Gonzaga.
