The installation was expertly executed by AstroTurf Great Lakes,

The innovative AstroTurf RootZone system is renowned for its

With its unique three-dimensional root zone and dense fiber
construction, this turf system provides a natural grass-like feel
while minimizing the risk of injuries.
This upgrade is a testament to Central
Michigan University's commitment to providing the best
possible training environment for its student-athletes.

Great Lakes and CMU alum. "The AstroTurf system is designed to

athletes train on a surface that meets the highest standards."
Central Michigan's Turf Bay
opened in 1999. The 21,600-square foot facility is utilized by all
17 of Central Michigan's varsity
sports teams and is home to several camps, clinics, and club teams.
The Chippewa football, field
hockey, soccer, baseball, lacrosse, and softball teams all utilize
the practice facility when poor weather forces them from their
outdoor facilities. All 17 athletic programs use the facility as
part of their strength and conditioning programs.
CMU's Turf Bay is part of the Indoor Athletic Complex that also
houses the Dick Enberg Academic Center, weight room, athletic
training room, team meeting room, administrative offices, baseball,
and track and field offices, and Jack Skoog Indoor Track and Field
Facility.
AstroTurf's commitment to innovation and quality continues to
set the industry standard for synthetic turf solutions. The

Michigan marks another milestone in AstroTurf's mission to
deliver the best possible playing surfaces for athletes at all
