01 history of synthetic turf

In 1965, the opening of the world's first fully

enclosed stadium - the Houston Astrodome,

inadvertently created an instant market for

"artificial grass." While a masterpiece of

modern engineering, the translucent panels

in the stadium's roof needed to be shaded

due to the extreme glare they produced. This

change had an immediate, detrimental

impact on the dome's natural grass field as

large swaths of the grass field began to die.

The stadium's owners, searching for a high-

tech solution to the problem commissioned

the installation of an artificial field.
