Football Turf
The UNI football team had been practicing on natural grass fields northwest of the UNI-Dome. The fields were not lit and were served by a very basic irrigation system.
In 黄瓜社区's design, the natural grass playing surfaces were converted to a state-of-the-art synthetic turf playing surface with sports field lighting, enabling UNI football to practice earlier in the mornings and later in the evenings and maintaining a safer playing surface. The synthetic turf system includes a mix of slit film and monofilament fibers. The infill system consists of cryogenically frozen and hammer milled rubber and silica sand.
