WARREN, Pa., Jan. 29, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- The Warren Sports Booster Incorporated has selected FieldTurf for the resurfacing of the football/soccer field located at War Memorial Field, home of the Warren High School Dragons. This decision was taken after their Sprinturf field needed to be replaced after just 9 years of use. The Booster Club decided that the patented sand/rubber FieldTurf system was the right product for them the second time around. In fact, 9 years ago, this was the first documented Sprinturf installation and the first all-rubber artificial turf installation in Pennsylvania. Their decision to switch to FieldTurf speaks for itself.
Sprinturf was removed from the list of turf companies being considered for the job because of their lack of service.
"FieldTurf has proven that its product is the best in the industry as far as durability, safety, and performance," said Greg Latimer WMF Facility Director. "We are very pleased to be getting FieldTurf for War Memorial Field and the Community of Warren County will no doubt enjoy the new surface. In addition to their product's proven performance, FieldTurf's customer service is top-notch and we look forward to a long and enjoyable relationship with them."
"Since the very beginning, we knew that our patented sand/rubber infill mix would perform better and last longer than an all-rubber infill mix", stated FieldTurf Tarkett CEO David Moszkowski. "The selection of FieldTurf by the Warren Sports Booster re-affirms what the industry has come to realize: all-rubber fields simply don't last as long as the FieldTurf system that is on more than 2500 fields worldwide."
