FAQs
What is Game ON turf technology? Game ON is a turf system from Shaw Sports Turf that uses tufted-in technology to incorporate logos, lines, and other design elements directly into the turf. This removes the need to cut and seam those elements into the field as separate inlays. Fewer inlay seams mean fewer potential separation points, supporting field quality and player safety while streamlining installation. The technology also allows custom graphics, end zone branding, and mow patterns.
What happens before replacement turf is installed? A turf replacement starts with a plan for the new system, field design, and removal of the existing materials. After the old turf is removed, the exposed base is evaluated and prepared for installation. Some fields need localized repairs or grading, while others require more extensive foundation work. Addressing those conditions before the new turf is laid helps avoid covering up problems that could affect the replacement field.
