Elevating the Playing Field: College Football Hall of Fame Announces AstroTurf as Newest Official Sponsor of the Iconic Venue

As part of the partnership, AstroTurf will renovate the Hall of Fame’s Peach Bowl Field later this month

ATLANTA (July 22, 2024) – The College Football Hall of Fame is proud to announce its new partnership
with the company synonymous with synthetic turf, AstroTurf. The industry leader is joining the Hall of
Fame roster as the Official Athletic Turf Partner and will be providing the Hall with a new, state-of-the-art
indoor field this summer.

“As the nation’s only College Football Hall of Fame, we strive to bring our guests an unforgettable,
state-of-the-art experience,” said College Football Hall of Fame President and CEO Kimberly Beaudin.
“This collaboration with AstroTurf will allow us to showcase the best in field innovation on our 45-yard
Peach Bowl Field, which is a highlight of the guest experience for fans of all ages testing their abilities in
kicking, throwing and catching the game-winning touchdown.”

AstroTurf was first introduced at the Astrodome in Houston, Texas, with the University of Pennsylvania
being the first collegiate stadium to install AstroTurf in 1969. Now, as the Hall of Fame prepares to
celebrate its 10th Anniversary in Atlanta, the Capital of College Football, in August, the new playing field
will put the venue on par with numerous collegiate and university facilities across the country, including
the University of Missouri’s Memorial Stadium and indoor facility, Texas A&M indoor performance
center, Auburn’s practice facility, Marshall’s Joan C. Edwards Stadium, and many more.

“We are incredibly honored to enter into a partnership as an official sponsor of the College Football Hall
of Fame,” said Gary Jones, Director of Marketing for AstroTurf. “At AstroTurf, our roots run deep in the
game of college football, and this collaboration marks a significant milestone in our longstanding
commitment to the sport. As a company dedicated to innovation and excellence, we are thrilled to join
forces with an institution that celebrates the rich history and enduring legacy of college football.
Together, we look forward to creating unforgettable experiences for fans and players alike, as we
continue to shape the future of the game we love.”
