American football
Super Bowl XL’s winners, the Pittsburgh Steelers train on it. Beaten finalists the Seattle Seahawks play all their home matches on it. BonaSlide yarns from Dundee took centre stage at Super Bowl XL as the Fieldturf surface once again hosted American Football’s premier event. The Fieldturf surface at Ford Field in Detroit, host to this year’s match, therefore offered familiarity as the surface is well known to both sets of players. The Steelers emerged triumphant, winning 21-10 - their first Super Bowl win since 1980.
The market leading yarn is installed at several high profile Fieldturf NFL team stadia including the Detroit Lions, Atlanta Falcons, Seattle Seahawks and New York Giants amongst others.
Ford Field, home of the Detroit Lions, opened in 2002 and marked a new era in Detroit Lions history when the team opened its new $500 million downtown Detroit stadium - one of the most impressive sports and entertainment venues ever built.
