The iconic Birds Next Stadium was designed and built as the main hub for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. The large, open roof stadium has since become a venue used for high-profile events and as a tourist attraction. BNS remains a landmark that continues to draw in people from across the world for both the sight and for events.
Currently, outside the stadium, the management team is testing a pilot field crafted from Xtreme Grass. Inside Birds Nest is a traditional grass field that is both difficult and expensive to maintain and faces wear from the multitude of games and attractions hosted within the stadium. After the test field proves to be successful, the pitch inside the stadium will be resurfaced with the reinforced strength of Xtreme Grass. Xtreme Grass offers up to 30% more playing hours compared to natural grass alone and promotes faster, thicker growth of the grass blades.
