Electric blanket heats Falcon Stadium grass in Colorado Springs
Falcon Stadium becomes the first athletic venue to use an electric heating system for its turf. The 16.5 miles of wiring under the surface keeps soil warm to extend the growing season and reduce turf damage, though it is not designed to melt snow. The system, by Singer Co. of Auburn, aims to minimize sod wear and injuries by allowing near year round grass growth.
