An official agreement was announced on Tuesday between Mercedes-Benz Stadium and FieldTurf for the latter to become the official artificial surface partner of the brand new stadium that will host the Atlanta Falcons and Atlanta United.
This is a surprising announcement considering that just over a year ago, AMB Sports & Entertainment (AMBSE) and GreenFields USA announced a partnership to feature GreenFields® MX 3-STAR Turf System at the new stadium. This was supposed to be a revolutionary new system that is featured around the Dutch Eredivisie.
Back in February 2016, Falcons President Rich McKay stated that GreenFields surface offered a safer playing surface for NFL players.
