FieldTurf Installs New FieldTurf CORE Playing Surface at Seattle’s Lumen Field

FieldTurf has successfully installed the new FieldTurf CORE system at Seattle's Lumen Field, marking the first deployment of the multi-layer dual-polymer monofilament fiber surface. This initiative not only replaces the turf installed in 2019 but also continues a partnership with the city that dates back to 2000. The CORE system is renowned for its durability and safety features, including a design that complies with FIFA Quality Pro certification standards.

The installation enhances the playing field for various Seattle-based teams, including the NFL's Seahawks, MLS' Seattle Sounders FC, and NWSL's Seattle Reign FC. FieldTurf CORE is distinguished by its heavyweight infill and wide-gauge design, aimed at reducing injury risks while ensuring optimal performance. Meticulously tested for wear and durability, including a significant trial at Penn State's Center for Sports Surface Research, CORE underscores FieldTurf's dedication to player safety and turf quality.

Moreover, the replacement project aligns with FieldTurf's Sustain the Game program, incorporating an eco-friendly initiative that ensures the old turf material is recycled into new products, avoiding landfill disposal. This commitment to sustainability and injury prevention highlights FieldTurf's ongoing effort to produce safe, high-quality playing surfaces for athletes across various levels of sport.
