Academy Sports Turf LLC, based in Englewood, CO, partnered with GreenFields USA to install the new GreenFields MX woven synthetic turf system. The new championship multipurpose pitch is the first woven field in the Rocky Mountain region.

Innovative surface

Constructed in 2002, Commons Parks Championship Field was due for a replacement. The city wanted to provide the best playing surface for the city and county of Broomfield.

GreenFields created a system suitable for playing football and soccer, which replicates the playability of natural grass while offering a more consistent playing surface with a more natural ball roll, reduced glare, and more authentically natural appearance.

According to Jeff Kroeger, Landscape Architect at BHA Design Landscape: “Once we showed Broomfield the GreenFields MX system they were truly blown away. It was obvious the product was superior to anything else they had seen in the marketplace.”

Recyclable

The GreenFields MX systems consists of a new patented triple W-weaving technique and in combination with environmentally safe and healthy materials, this new synthetic turf design is 100% recyclable, the company reports.

Compared to a conventional tufting procedure, this patented weaving technique is also said to provide a higher yarn density ensuring an enhanced tuft bind and permit a combination of up to six different fibre designs and pile heights.

GreenFields Rocky Mountain Sales Manager Bob Aurich worked closely with the City and County of BroomField, BHA Design, and Academy Sports Turf to provide the GreenFields MX system: "It is technologically advanced and quite frankly the best we have ever made.”
