Each year, 150 million television viewers, approximately half the total inhabitants of the United States, watch the final of the most important competition in American Football: the Super Bowl. American football, also called gridiron in other parts of the world, has developed into one of the most popular sports in North America. Because this team sport is so loved by young and old there is great need for football pitches that are always in top condition. Artificial turf can be played on in summer and winter and is consequently also perfect to satisfy the great demand.

The aim of American football is to gain as much of the field as possible, to score a touchdown or to kick a field goal. This means that the players often make contact with the field. Thanks to the use of skin-friendly artificial fibres and infill material the friction during sliding or falls does not cause extra pain or grazing. A safer field means more enjoyment in the play.

Artificial pitches are often equipped with the club’s logo. The club colours can be incorporated into the artificial turf and form part of the field…an eye-catching detail that will certainly be enjoyed by the supporters.

The Desso GrassMaster fields are also popular for American football. If you choose this reinforced natural grass system, then the club logo or other features can also be integrated, by painting on the grass.
