Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank's company, AMB Sports & Entertainment, announced a partnership with GreenFields USA to feature the GreenFields MX 3-STAR Turf System at the new Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
According to a press release, the GreenFields MX 3-STAR Turf System is the world’s first synthetic turf system to pass the NFL BEAST test requirements. The BEAST testing process mimics the forces exerted on an athlete's lower legs and how the surface under his or her foot contributes to optimal performance and reasons for associated injuries.
“Our goal is for every feature of this stadium to be a difference-maker,” Falcons president and CEO Rich McKay said.
