National Football Champion Chooses Mondoturf

Kiefer Specialty Flooring, Inc. has been selected to design and install artificial turf for the NCAA 2011 National Champion Pittsburg State Gorillas.

The Division II football champs will be installing a state-of-the-art artificial turf system from Mondo at Carnie Smith Stadium in Pittsburg, KS. The turf system consists of Mondo’s 3Nx monofilament fiber and their innovative thermo-bonded backing. Mondo’s 3Nx turf fiber was engineered by Mondo as a “natural sliding feeling” fiber to resemble the characteristics of natural turf. The 3Nx fiber’s semi-concave structure and unique composition create a durable turf surface with optimal dimensional memory and resistance to environmental factors. Mondo’s thermo-bonded backing creates an incredibly strong bond with the fibers and is over 90% porous, improving field drainage by over 4 times that of traditional turf backing.

Tim Beck, Head Football Coach at Pittsburg State University, praises the Mondo system by saying, “We visited a number of facilities and feel like Mondoturf stood out from the rest. The look and feel of their turf is just different. We believe Mondo offers a great product, and we look forward to having their surface on our field.”

Beck adds, “We have been very fortunate to have a strong tradition of excellence here at Pitt State, and we believe our partnership with Mondo will play an important part in our future success.”
