![Preseason Finale: What To Watch For on Our Turf]()
by Shelby Becker
It is the final day of preseason games, and this evening will be a full schedule with 16 games. Our turf fields will be the hosts of 3 of these games: the Philadelphia Eagles vs. the New York Jets, the Baltimore Ravens vs. the New Orleans Saints, and the Los Angeles Chargers vs. the San Francisco 49ers.
Philadelphia Eagles @ New York Jets (6 PM CST)
The 2-1 Eagles will be using the final game of the preseason to give roster hopefuls the opportunity to prove themselves as members of the team. The Eagles are still attempting to put together a winning team after 2016’s disappointing 7-9 record. The Jets are currently 1-2 this preseason and are also attempt to turn the team around from last season’s 5-11 record. Overall, the roster looks different with 2 RBs and the past QB gone.
The teams look evenly matched going into tonight’s game, with the Eagles just slightly ahead of the Jets in preseason yards per game. Both teams also have players out with injuries.
Baltimore Ravens @ New Orleans Saints (7 PM CST)
With 22 players injured throughout the preseason, the Ravens will be extremely lacking in starting players. Going forward, many of the player’s game status is questionable, but the team holds a 3-0 record for the preseason. The Saints have gone 2-1 this preseason and will be competing for the second time on their new field in the Superdome. Breakout rookie RB Alvin Kamara will be making another debut on the field after sitting out game 3.
Overall the matchup is fairly even, with the Saints leading in offensive total yards per game, passing yards per game, and rush yards per game.
Los Angeles Chargers @ San Francisco 49ers (9 PM CST)
The Chargers are going into this final game with a 1-2 record. Despite a losing preseason, the Chargers will not be putting in many starters, but rather focus on giving rookies and backups a chance to shine on the field. The same is true for the 2-1 49ers, who have elected to sit on many of their starters. The 49ers will focus its efforts on trimming down the current 53-man roster.
The 49ers are expected to have a slight home-field advantage in tonight’s game. Additionally, the 49ers have won the past 7 consecutive preseason games against the Chargers.
Each of these games will be competed on an Act Global brand of synthetic turf. This artificial grass is engineered and tested to offer a superior playing surface for the players by increasing safety and comfort.

For the Wildcats, renovations to the Bishop Daly field could not come soon enough. Last season teams were forced to navigate tree roots growing in the outfield from the bordering vegetation. Because the field is co-occupied by both the baseball and the field hockey team, Marin Catholic utilized the summer break to address growing safety concerns.
After 15 years, the school selected Act Global’s synthetic turf for both the infield and the outfield. Our California partner, The KYA Group, helped in arranging and installing the Wildcat’s new surface.
Adan Callan, the school’s athletic director has noted that “Everyone is excited for the project to be complete… and the students are excited to play on it.”
The multi purpose turf offers high-speed play with ideal traction and stability to enhance player protection. Our artificial grass is benchmarked against top natural grass facilities to ensure precise engineering of our surfaces. Because our products are developed using maximum UV inhibitors to withstand heavy use, our synthetic turf is a durable surface that will last longer and perform better under the use of multiple teams.
To minimize undergrowth trip hazards in the future, the previous trees in place will be replaced with palm trees.
Yesterday was the first practice of the women’s field hockey team on the new turf at Bishop Daly. Good luck on the fall season, and Go Wildcats!

This past weekend the New Orleans Saints’ new artificial grass was debuted at the Mecerdes-Benz Superdome. Both fans and the media immediately recognized the upgrade to the stadium, and the change was met with positive remarks on social media and the press.
Nick Underhill, a journalist for the New Orleans Advocate remarks below on Twitter:
In another piece by The Advocate, reporter Scott Robalais starts off the article that analyzes Saturday night’s game with: “First off, the new turf inside the Mercedes-Benz Superdome looks great. A much more vibrant green than the old rug”.
The Saints performed excellently on the new turf, completely shutting down the Texans. The final score was 13-0 with Darius Victor named “Player of the Game” for his 8 carries, 30 rushing yards, and single touchdown.
Congratulations to the New Orleans Saints on the win, we’re counting down the days until the season opener!
