One Size Does Not Fit All MetLife Stadium Official Partner HOST OF SUPERBOWL XLVIII MetLife Stadium, host of Superbowl XLVIII and home to the NY Giants and NY Jets acquired a turnkey outdoor temporary flooring system from Matrax Inc. to cover the synthetic turf during non-football events. Since opening in April of 2010, MetLife has hosted large musical acts including: Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen, The Eagles, Kenny Chesney, Taylor Swift, Beyonce/Jay-Z, One Direction, Eminem/Rihanna, AC/DC, and many more. Supports Heavy Vehicular Traffic TURF PROTECTION ESSENTIALS The primary purpose of the Matrax field covering system is to protect the synthetic field turf, support heavy vehicular traffic during the construction of the stages and lighting systems, and provide a safe surface for the general public during the event. 100% Drivable Other systems that MetLife had used in the past did not meet MetLife’s performance expectations as these products were poorly designed and could not support fully loaded 40’ tractor-trailers weighing 45,000 lbs. In the past the trailers had to be unloaded in the parking lot and the components of the stage shuttled in on smaller lighter duty vehicles. This process was costly and time consuming. In addition, one of the systems used caused Aerial View damage to the synthetic turf it was intended to protect. Matrax, Inc. / 1-855-MAT-ROAD /
