Tonight the Oregon Ducks are returning to the field for their season opener, at home, on Papé Field. It’s been a long 9 months since regular-season ended last November, but with a former star player for the team serving as Director of Operations for the team, the Ducks could have a knock-out season. In an exhibition game against Portland State, the Oregon Ducks dominated with a final score of 5-0.
The Ducks pride themselves to play at one of the school’s newest athletic facilities, Papé Field. The highly advanced field was designed to be technically sound for both the lacrosse and the soccer teams and have bigger-than-life school pride. The Act Global brand of turf features alternating color panels of bold greens and colossal Oregon logo at centerfield in the school’s treasured yellow. The Ducks are pleased to be one of the few schools with an artificial grass playing surface, a differentiation that gives the team a distinct home-field advantage.

While the lingering summer temperatures may have everyone fooled, fall and winter weather is on its way to relieve us of the seemingly relentless heat. For many states, the transition from scorching heat to blistering cold comes quickly and many sports enthusiasts, both athletes, and non-athletes are forced to retreat indoors. This is disappointing and destructive to the progression of playing ability, so, many areas have adapted to the climatic conditions to provide sporting solutions.
Minnesota is well known for its air-filled chambers that house synthetic turf fields both for practice facilities and the Viking’s previous stadium, the Metrodome. These giant structures protect players from outdoor elements including rain and snow. The city of Edina, Minnesota recognized the value of these dome structures and elected to construct a designated golf dome that is distinguished as the largest and longest hitting dome within the area and is complete with a putting green so players can work to improve all aspects of their game. Of course, these structures would not be complete without the technology of synthetic turf. Edina’s Golf Dome was built in 2013 and outfitted with Act Global’s superior artificial grass system, Xtreme Turf. The dense and durable fibers have helped the dome become a pillar within the community-especially during the winter months.
If you are ever in the area, be sure to check out the Braemar Golf Dome!

The Cardinals took home a victory over the Chargers in their NFL preseason debut on Saturday night and many new players, including rookie quarterback Josh Rosen had the opportunity to shine on the field. Training to be a professional football player takes countless hours on the field and endless exhausting practices to get players game-day ready.
The Arizona Cardinals know the importance of a highly-functional training center that supports the acceleration of their players. The Tempe, Arizona located training facility for the team features a 96,000 square foot environmentally-efficient building that was conceptualized with modern components to be at the forefront of sustainability. The indoor facility focuses on rest, recovery, and nutrition, and the outdoor synthetic turf field was designed for performance.
Since 2013 the Cardinal training center has featured Act Global’s brand of artificial grass as one of the team’s 3 practice fields. The synthetic turf system, unlike the natural grass field it replaced, is able to be played on year round regardless of weather conditions and hours played on already.

Metlife hosted its first preseason game last night where the Giants seemed to falter despite their home-field advantage. The 20-10 victory by the Browns was in large part from rookie QB Baker Mayfield who (unsurprisingly) was a star on the field after being subbed in during the first quarter. A second New York team has a chance to defend their home turf tonight, also at Metlife Stadium.
The Jets are 10 training practices into the preseason and it’s already apparent that many storylines will take place at tonight’s game. The most notable of these is the fight for the roster quarterback position between the current 3 players. Each offers something radically different from the team- a safe harbor in John McCown, a possible wildcard in Teddy Bridgewater, or a shining rookie in Sam Darnold. Running back rookie Trenton Cannon is also a possibility for the Jet’s offense as they are seemingly attempting to bolster up the depth-chart with younger players. Finally, many fans are anxious to see what Mike Maccagnan meant when he said that the team wanted to upgrade their passing rush. It is extremely possible that unless the current lineup begins to shine, trades could be in the future.

While many regular season fans argue that preseason can be a situation of quantity over quality, these exhibition games give us insights into legitimate struggles and concerns facing the teams that could affect play in another month. The month of August is a constant fight for roster spots and constant depth-chart battles.
Tonight the real preseason kicks off after the Hall-of-Fame game that left us parched for more. 2 of the 24 teams playing tonight are the Browns and the Giants at Metlife Stadium at 7 PM EST. Under the bright lights of the New Jersey stadium, a lineup of rookies, including the number 1 and the number 2 draft picks, will square off in their first professional-level game. Baker Mayfield has reportedly been extremely impressive throughout camp and is expected to have half of the game to prove himself this week for the Browns. Equally impressive in camp is Giants running back rookie Saquon Barkley who has astonished everyone with his hybrid mix of power and speed.
Act Global is excited to host both these strong talents on our brand of turf tonight at MetLife Stadium.
