As the official turf provider of Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC, Sprinturf plays a direct role in supporting one of the USL Championship’s most competitive professional soccer environments. When the club needed a playing surface for Weidner Field, its 8,000-seat stadium in downtown Colorado Springs, Sprinturf delivered a professional-grade system built for training, match play, and the expectations of a growing fan base.

The field features Sprinturf MXE, a turf system selected for its natural grass-like appearance, responsive playability, and durable long-term performance. Designed to support natural ball movement, stable footing, and consistent play, MXE gives the Switchbacks a surface that matches the speed, precision, and physical demands of professional soccer. Paired with GreenPlay® Corkonut infill, the system provides a cooler, more natural playing experience with reduced surface heat, low abrasion, and strong player-surface interaction.

The system is tested to meet FIFA Quality and FIFA Quality Pro performance criteria, including standards tied to playability, safety, durability, and quality assurance. For a professional club training and competing at a high level, those details matter. The surface needs to perform through daily use, sharp changes of direction, match-day pressure, and the pace of professional soccer.

For the Switchbacks, the field is part of a larger competitive story. Since opening Weidner Field in 2021, the club has continued to build momentum around its downtown stadium experience, culminating in a 2024 USL Championship title won at home. Through its official turf provider partnership, Sprinturf provides a surface that supports the club’s daily preparation, match-day performance, and long-term growth.

Today, the relationship reflects the standard Sprinturf brings to high-level soccer: proven turf performance, reliable field quality, and accountability from pellet to play.
