AstroTurf installation at Greeneville High School almost complete


The Greeneville Greene Devils will start their 2008 season on a new state-of-the-art synthetic turf system from AstroTurf.

The Greene Devils will be playing on the latest in innovation and technology, GameDay Grass 3D. An advanced hybrid system which according to third party testing most closely replicates natural grass, GameDay Grass 3D utilizes a proprietary technology called Root Zone™, a simulated thatch layer at the base of the turf system that replicates the underlayer of root fibers and thatch found in natural grass. The density of the RootZone, providing stability, cushion and consistent performance over time, means that less granulated rubber infill is required, reducing the problems related to infill migration and “fly-out.”

Standardized testing used to measure shock absorption supports that the hybrid GameDay Grass 3D is uniformly more consistent with softer, natural grass as opposed to firmer turf products using less fiber content and a higher amount of infill comprised of sand and rubber, a system introduced in the 1990s.

Coming off a IMAC Conference Championship and a trip to the Class 4A quarterfinals, the Greene Devils will open their season at home on August 22 against Jefferson County.
