Saints Take Home a Preseason Win on Their New Publicly Approved Synthetic Turf Field
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!

HCQZ (Hockey Club Quick-ZOW) or QZ is a hockey club from The Netherlands that has its home in the southwest region of Nijmegen at Staddijk Sports Park. The club emphasizes an atmosphere of teamwork, involvement, engagement, and solidarity for each of its players, fostering sportsmanlike athletes. The club was officially founded in 2006 after a long-discussed merger that brought together the Mixed Hockey Club Quick (formerly known as Nijmeegsche Ladies Hockey Club Quick) and MHV ZOW to encompass 650 hickey members.
This summer we had the opportunity to work with our partners at Sallandse United to install our synthetic turf in HCQZ’s wet field. Our artificial grass is engineered and tested to offer a superior playing surface by offering greater speed and precision. Our hockey turf gives a flat, fast surface with lower friction, free moving fibers for footing and stick movements, and technical accuracy for consistent ball roll and rebound. This means that the teams of HCQZ will compete on a professional hockey system that will allow them to play at their best.
