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.

The two-week countdown to Super Bowl LII is officially underway! Yesterday four teams competed in the championship-bound round which led to the New England Patriot’s win over the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Philadelphia Eagle’s win over the Minnesota Vikings. Now both teams have a bye week to train and prepare before heading to U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
New England is a powerhouse that has made regular appearances at the Super Bowl, making them the favorite of predictions from multiple sources. A win on February 4 by the Patriots would make the team the first back-to-back champion since 2003-2004, a record they themselves set. However, the Philadephia Eagles have proved themselves as a successful underdog throughout playoffs, even using the status as a motivator and joke with their fans. Philadelphia has pulled off repeat upsets over its past two opponents, making the team a serious competitor against New England. The most current prediction from Bleacher Report has the final score at New England 37, Philadelphia 30.
On February 4, fans from all corners of the country will come to fill the 70,000 seats at U.S. Bank Stadium for Super Bowl LII. As the premiere and most prominent game of the year, Act Global is proud to have the two best teams of the 2017 NFL season meet on our brand of turf. The synthetic turf system is a leading brand in the industry and trusted for its proven safety and durability under high impact sports. The surface combines science and technology with superior aesthetics to create the ultimate artificial grass system.
Good luck to both the Patriots and the Eagles!

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.

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.
