WAYNE, PA – February 5, 2008 – Sprinturf announced today that it has been named the Official Turf Supplier for the Kansas City Chiefs and has contracted to provide a synthetic turf football field at the new Harry S. Truman Sports Complex. 

“We have chosen Sprinturf as a partner to the Kansas City Chiefs organization and it’s been a pleasure working with the entire Sprinturf team throughout the process.  We are excited about the new project and after much evaluation, are confident that Sprinturf is the best product for our facility,” said Kansas City Chiefs President/General Manager/CEO, Carl D. Peterson.

“We are honored to have formed a partnership with the Kansas City Chiefs organization and look forward to working with them in the future.  This relationship is a great example of our continued support and commitment to the sport of football,” added Stanley H. Greene, president and CEO of Sprinturf.

Sprinturf recently announced that is has also become the exclusive synthetic turf provider of the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame.  Sprinturf also honored scholar-athletes from around the nation in December at the 2007 College Football Hall of Fame Awards Dinner and joined in honoring such legends as Roger Staubach, Joe Paterno, Ahmad Rashad and others.   

The construction of this field is part of the Chiefs’ reconstruction initiative for their expanded practice facility and the New Arrowhead Stadium.  Sprinturf will construct the field using its signature Ultrablade DF and an all-rubber infill which has quickly become the preferred choice for many facilities around the nation due to its superior safety qualities and demonstrated long-lasting performance.

“Sprinturf Ultrablade DF is the ideal choice for a multi-use field because the playability is much like that of natural grass in pristine conditions.  The all-rubber infill provides firm footing yet quick release and turn action while still ensuring that the G-max levels (a measure of surface hardness), are well below the guidelines of the Synthetic Turf Council in regards to concussions and injury.  Athlete safety is our number one priority.  At Sprinturf, we too are the parents, the players and the coaches and we understand that for many customers, this is one of the most important aspects of their selection process,” commented Bruce Cheskin, senior vice president responsible for product development and safety at Sprinturf.

Ground breaking on the Kansas City Chiefs field will begin in the early part of Summer, 2008.
