Countdown to Minneapolis: U.S. Bank Stadium Fun Fact #4

The biggest game in American football is taking place this weekend, February 4th in Minneapolis, Minnesota.  The Philadelphia Eagles and New England Patriots have commanded the road to the Super Bowl, earning their spots in this year’s game.  With Super Bowl Sunday quickly approaching, Act Global will be bringing a fun fact each day about U.S. Bank Stadium- home of Super Bowl LII.

Did you know that U.S. Bank Stadium’s roof engineering is a trailblazer for stadiums, both in size and design?  Because U.S. Bank is now a premier facility for year-round events, in the design stage of the facility it was vital to craft a sought-after destination that could protect athletes and entertainers from the elements of the outdoors.  The result was the lightest and most efficient roof structure in the nation for a major new stadium and the only ETFE roof on a sports facility within the United States.  The completely clear roof covers sixty percent of the venue and allows as much natural light in as possible.

Field Feature Friday: Deer Park School

Deer Park is a secondary school located in Cirencester, Gloucestershire, England.  The Academy-rated institution instills a comprehensive education that includes a broad curriculum and access to elite extra-curricular resources.   Because athletic engagement both supports learning as well as promotes individual interests, Deer Park encourages its students to join one of the many sports teams offered throughout the year in fall, spring, and summer terms.

Deer Park’s professional-quality artificial turf system is even used not only by student-athletes, but also the Cirencester Hockey Club for its fast, flat, and consistent surface.  The Cirencester Hockey Club is a social hockey club that has grown to be one of the largest hockey clubs in South Gloucestershire over the past quarter-century with 8 adult leagues, Vets and mixed teams, and over 250 junior players.  The club allows teams to grow their hockey abilities in a friendly environment and continue to play throughout the sport’s traditional off-season.

The artificial turf system currently installed at Deer Park is a professional hockey system with advanced texturized fiber technology and glass-reinforced backings.  The uniform surface provides technical accuracy and consistent ball roll and rebound through a scientifically-engineered turf system that is exceptionally durable.  This allows more teams to spend more hours practicing on the pitch compared to natural grass limitations. Verde Recreo expertly completed the design and build of Deer Park’s field with artificial grass manufactured by Act Global.
