Project Summary
Keystone Sports Construction recently completed renovations to the track and turf field of the stadium field at Northern Lehigh High School in Slatington, Pennsylvania, using GAME ON synthetic turf systems from Shaw Sports Turf on the stadium field.
The Client
Northern Lehigh School District has a rich athletic history highlighted by multiple PIAA District XI championships and notable state-level achievements. The Bulldogs won District XI championships in 1999, 2003, 2010, 2021, and 2022, and reached the state finals in 2003 under longtime coach Jim Tkach.
The Challenge
Northern Lehigh High School brought Keystone in over the summer of 2026 to renovate the turf field and track before the start of the fall school year.
Construction Process
The project began with removing and disposing of the existing turf field, along with reclaiming and recycling the existing infill. The running track surface was also milled and disposed of. The team then graded the field's stone base. This project utilized Shaw Sports Turf Game On technology to design and install Legion Pro synthetic turf on the field. The team then installed a sealed base mat synthetic running track for the stadium.

FAQs
What is GAME ON? GAME ON is a turf system from Shaw Sports Turf that uses tufted-in technology to design turf elements, tufting logos and lines into the turf and removing the need for inlaid turf seams. This improves field quality and safety while also streamlining the installation process.
What are signs that my turf field needs to be replaced? Signs include splitting at the ends of turf fibers, shedding of turf fibers, seam separation, loose field inlays that require frequent repair to prevent injury risk, lines and inlays that appear more worn than the rest of the field, and a firmer feeling underfoot.
