Round Rock, TX—The Round Rock Dragons football team upgrades their practice field to artificial grass.
The Xtreme Turf installed at Round Rock High School is Act Global’s DXT system. The DXT incorporates a layer of thatch fibers to help lock infill in place, and monofilament fibers which add shock absorbency. We recommend a DXT for indoor facilities because of its low maintenance paired with performance benefits.
Indoor facilities are prominent in states like Texas because they eliminate weather interference such as rainstorms, high heat, and humidity.
Round Rock High School is located about 9 miles north of our corporate office, making this project extra special to the Act Global family.

The Minnesota Vikings’ home features latest safety and technology built by leading firm and partner General Sports Surfaces.
Austin, TX – When U.S. Bank Stadium decided they wanted to replace their turf in 2019, they turned to Act Global due to their dedication to player safety and performance. The Vikings played their first nationally televised regular season home game on October 24th against the Washington Redskins.
This removal of the old field and new installation were completed by Act Global’s in-house crew and its partner General Sports Surfaces (GSS). Specializing in offering a full range of athletic surfaces including synthetic turf and running tracks, GSS also offers comprehensive services including design, installation, maintenance, and customer support. The installation included removable panels for event, soccer, and football conversions.
“Act Global is both honored and excited to be the turf supplier for U.S. Bank Stadium and home of the Minnesota Vikings,” Act Global CEO John Baize commented.
“General Sports Surfaces’ installation quality is amazing and could not have done a better job,” Baize added.
“The enormity of US Bank Stadium and the level of NFL talent that performs on this field excited not only me, but every single member of our General Sports Surfaces crew,” President of General Sports Surfaces Hector Puentes said. “We are extremely proud to have played a role in producing this beautiful playing surface. Our commitment whether it is an NFL, collegiate, or high school field, is to provide a safe yet durable athletic field for athletes.”
Act Global’s synthetic turf system is specifically designed and tested to provide a superior playing surface for athletes geared towards player safety and performance. This proven methodology includes a vast range of quality and durability checks, biomechanical measurements and surface testing.

After witnessing the large success and durability of Hayes Field since 2015, the district knew exactly who to turn to in the selection of synthetic turf for their Chambers Field. It was no question having seen it withstand flooding and snowstorms on top of its extensive daily usage each day over the course of four years.
Act Global partner, HERA SPORTS, installed a new Act Global Xtreme Turf BDX50 field for the school’s football, soccer and lacrosse teams. Like Hayes Field, the new Chambers Field will showcase GreenPlay’s custom infill blend of coconut fibers and cork and use the ProPlay-Sport23 product by Schmitz Foam. The ProPlay pad ensures that the playing surface is shock absorbent and safe to play on and the organic infill option helps support the movement of “going green”. This system will ensure adequate gradient drainage of water to help combat against harsh weather and flooding.
Now that the high school will have two synthetic fields at their disposal instead of one, the practice and game day schedule for their football, soccer and lacrosse teams will become easier and more flexible for years to come. The new field will be able to quickly fix past issues and help student-athletes continue to develop their skills and sportsmanship with the added playtime a synthetic turf field provides, approximately six times more than the average natural grass field.
“Act Global is honored to be chosen for the field replacement at their stadium, Chambers Field,” said Act Global General Manager for Sales and Operations, Jerry Harper. “The success of our BDX50 system at Hayes Field, Bronxville Union Free School Districts Multipurpose Field, provide the Broncos the most state-of-the-art facilities in the area.”
The school district, Act Global and HERA SPORTS are confident in the turf system for Chambers Field. The world-class turf company hopes to continue to touch the lives of the student body as much as it has with Hayes Field, serving the multitude of communities across the district.

It’s time for another partner spotlight! JNC Premier Pitches & Fencing recently converted the Rathcoole Boys Football Club’s existing natural grass playing pitch into a full size synthetic turf soccer pitch with Act Global’s synthetic grass turf on a shock pad system and ancillary works!

Things are looking to the future in Peru! Act Global Partner Ferrol Sport installed an Act Global Xtreme Turf field for Estadio Municipal El Porvenir. The brand new FIFA qualified facility will be used for training for the Federation of Soccer of Peru!
The purpose of the Peruvian Federation of Football is to transform soccer in Peru and turn it into an engine of social and sports change. Their goal is to return the love and passion of the sport to the 30 million Peruvians who live in the country.
As part of their plan to professionalize management and include the involvement and support of clubs and interest groups across the country, the FPF made the decision to bring on the Act Global team to tailor their sports needs. The turf used was the Xtreme Turf D60-360, a product engineered for player safety and performance and designed specifically for soccer.
Act Global and Ferrol Sport are proud of the work done for the Federation of Soccer of Peru! We are excited that soccer players around the area will get to use the facility to better their skills and build comradery while minimizing injury. The future’s looking bright and we are so glad to be apart of it!
