The pathway to success for both the Saints and the Vikings has been paved with Act Global turf.
Yesterday the New Orleans Saints defeated the Carolina Panthers 31-26 in a thrilling home game win at Mercedes Benz Superdome. This was the last game of the Wild Card Round and a defining moment for the Saints as they move onto the playoffs.
The Saints will play the Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday in the NFC Divisional Round playoff game. It will be the first playoff meeting between the teams since New Orleans defeated Minnesota 31-28 in the 2009 NFC Championship game.
The Vikings are 7-1 at home this season, playing on Act Global branded turf. However, the Saints have had much success as well this year playing at home on the same brand. This gives a whole new meaning to the phrase ‘home field advantage’ and depending on the team’s playoff success this year, the Vikings could be the first team to play a Super Bowl in its home stadium.

Act Global recently had the opportunity to manufacture three soccer pitches in Santiago and Curico, Chile.
The new synthetic turf field for ANFA (Asociación Nacional de Fútbol Amateur) Luis Hernan Alvarez Stadium is part of an improvement project to upgrade the quality of amateur soccer facilities. The professional-quality pitch was part of the final phase of the project, meaning soon athletes will have access to the stadium’s top quality amenities, including Act Global’s artificial grass.
Santiago’s National Paralympic Stadium selected Act Global’s synthetic turf as the surface for both the main field and the mini-pitch within the facility. The proven safety and specifically engineered athlete-conscious components ensure that Act Global artificial grass protects players while remaining durable under intense use and climatic conditions.

Honolulu’s stunning and scenic stadium stands just feet away from ‘Aiea Bay on the island of O’ahu. The sports venue has been home to the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors football team since its opening in 1975 and has been home to several professional sports teams and hosted NCAA and NFL bowl games since the 1980s. Aloha Stadium continues to be a cornerstone of Hawaii events and entertainment as the largest stadium in the state.
“Our mission is to meet the challenge of providing a first-class arena where the dreams of our young people can be realized through participation in sporting and other special events; where the spirit of achievement can be nourished by the thrill of competition; where families can gather to share their cultural diversity with pride and a feeling of Aloha” –Aloha Stadium
In its 42 year history, the stadium has been through several expansions and improvements to continue to modernize the facility. The most notable improvement came in 2008 when the state of Hawaii approved a bill to refurbish the stadium, including retrofitting its scoreboard, replacing all seats, treating for rust, and adding additional luxury suites, parking lots, pedestrian bridge supports, and lounges. In July 2011, the field was replaced with an Act Global brand of synthetic sports turf for its exceptional strength and durability. This has been proven over the past seven seasons as the field continues to perform excellently and has retained its aesthetic value.
This Sunday, December 24th, The Fresno State Bulldogs (9-4) and Houston Cougars (7-4) will travel to Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, Hawaii for their postseason matchup at 7:30 PM CST. Both teams arrived on the island earlier this week and have spent the past few days in their final practices and enjoying the island’s local culture.

A. N. Myer Secondary School is a 60-year-old institution located in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. The public high school specializes in creating excellent students in academics, the arts, and athletics. Throughout their four years at A.N. Myer, each of the 1350 students are exposed to a challenging combination of courses that will prepare them to be lifelong learners.
The school’s athletic program competes within the Zone III, SOSSA, and OFSAA levels, meaning that although A.N. Myer is classified as a AA school, the Marauders also compete at the AAA level. This is true for the 24 athletic teams that the school offers for both boys and girls. The student-athletes at A. N. Myer are exceptionally hard working, which is why their athletic field should work as hard as they do.
Carpell Surfaces, Act Global’s Canadian partner, worked with the school to install a new synthetic turf, multi-sport field that will be utilized by multiple teams. The beautiful project was completed by Carpell’s chief installer Steve Peat and his team. Act Global’s Xtreme Turf was selected for the field for its superior strength and ability to perform under high volume and intense impact. The synthetic turf system specializes in athlete safety with balancing system components that aid in reducing the most common sports injuries.
Thank you to Carpell Surfaces for a pristine field installation.
Good luck to the Marauders in the 2018 season!

KS Cracovia is a football club that has roots dating back 111 years, to 1906. Football started gaining popularity in Poland in the first years of the 20th century and quickly spread throughout the country. The club received its own pitch in 1912 and won the Championship of Austrian Galicia the following year. The long history of the club itself follows the history of Poland, from which a strong spirit of patriotism and tradition have emerged.
After World War I broke out, the team continued to compete against elite teams and foster the growth of exceptional players. Throughout World War II when Nazi Germany banned sports from Polish citizens, the team competed in secret championships of the city to preserve the spirit of the game. In the years following to the end of the 20th century, the team retained many faithful supporters that allowed the club to continue to develop.
Today the club competes in the Europa League, which Cracovia qualified in 2016 for the first time in the club’s history. The team recently updated their training center at Krakow city center to Act Global’s Xtreme Turf. This artificial grass system has a proven history of durability, safety, and performance, backed by extensive testing and R&D efforts. Because the team spends many hours each week on their training field, it is vital that the playing surface is strong, consistent, and stable. The Act Global synthetic turf system is engineered for football teams with playability components that help athletes perform their best.
