"When we were looking to replace our synthetic field, I wanted to continue our relationship with FieldTurf," said Pete Sala, Interim Director of Athletics/Carrier Dome Managing Director. "We like the quality and we are very excited about using the Classic HD product. The Carrier Dome is used year round for a multitude of events ranging from football to Monster Truck events and even ice skating shows. For this reason, it was important that we select a very durable product without compromising on quality. And that's why we selected FieldTurf."

FieldTurf's Classic HD slit-film artificial turf fiber combines the durability of slit-film yarns with an upgraded production process to deliver the perfect combination of durability and softness. Its unique extrusion and inline precision cutter eliminates excess splitting, for longer-lasting performance and softness. It virtually eliminates any "Edge Decay" that exists on other artificial turf fibers. Click here to learn more about the Classic product.

"We are extremely proud to continue our relationship with Syracuse University," Said FieldTurf President Eric Daliere. "Syracuse has a proud football history and we, at FieldTurf, are honored to provide the Orange with a high-performing surface that will live up to the institution's high standards."
