The field looked so nice that even Cape Fear Academy athletic director Chris Meehl couldn’t resist it. Two weeks before the school’s new turf field would open for students, Meehl and assistant AD Barron Russell headed out for some pick-up soccer. They got to test out the field before their students.... http://www.starnewsonline.com/article/20090223/ARTICLES/902230248/-1/SPORTS11?Title=Turf-decision-CFA-goes-fake

Louisiana State University, a perennial NCAA football power, has chosen Sportexe Momentum as the synthetic turf product for its outdoor practice facility. The Tigers already practice indoors on a Sportexe Momentum field.
LSU has won two national championships in this decade, and Coach Les Miles will be gunning for another title next season. Inside or outside, the Tigers will have a comfortable and resilient practice surface to get ready for the always difficult SEC competition.
Sportexe is excited about its new relationship with E&I (Educational and Institutional Cooperative Purchasing). Sportexe joins a list of impressive E&I suppliers such as FEDEX, Xerox, Hewlett Packard/Cisco, OfficeMax, etc.
E&I is a not-for-profit buying cooperative, which was established by members of the National Association of Educational Procurement (NAEP) to provide quality goods and services to its members with excellent pricing.
The E&I Cooperative is owned by is membership of more than 1600 colleges, universities, k-12 schools, hospitals, medical research institutions and hospital purchasing organizations throughout the United States.
Castleton State College, located majestically in the rolling mountains of Vermont, was founded in 1787 making it the 18th oldest institution of higher learning in the United States.
Lately, though, this NCAA Division III school is all about the future. Castleton is rolling out a new football program this fall, and the Spartans will play on a brand new Sportexe PowerBlade HP field. When head football coach Rich Alercio sends his troops into action, they will perform on a Sportexe monofilament field that offers excellent footing, optimum shock absorbency and the durability to withstand years of heavy use.
Football is not the only sport that will be played on the new field, which is scheduled to be completed this summer. The nearly 102,000 square foot field will also be used for soccer, field hockey and men’s and women’s lacrosse
The Pittsburgh Steelers captured its unprecedented 6th NFL championship with an exciting victory over the Arizona Cardinals and Sportexe was along for the ride. While the Steelers play their home games on natural grass, they practice occasionally on the Sportexe Momentum field at The University of Pittsburgh.
This season, due to months of inclement weather, the Steelers were forced to practice inside, but when they practice outdoors, the Sportexe field is waiting for them. The Steelers, in conjunction with the University of Pittsburgh, chose Sportexe for the practice facility.
