Football Turf
Arena Sport
Arena Sport is tough turf for football and rugby. It is suitable for use in a wide rage of situations from school playing fields to international stadiums. It is also used in any amenity area subjected to heavy wear and tear.
A high percentage of perennial ryegrass (70%) is required in the mixture to withstand the demands of football and rugby. The cultivars of ryegrass we use in Arena Sport have performed well in intensive wear trials at the Sports Turf Research Institute. They rank highly on live ground cover and visual merit during wear. The smoothstalked meadowgrass element of Arena Sport adds to the strength and density of the sod.
Arena Sport is grown on very sandy soil. This is important on the field of play to allow free surface drainage of rain and irrigation water.
