LAS VEGAS, NEVADA, UNITED STATES, September 30, 2016 /EINPresswire.com/ -- When Bishop Gorman, the top-ranked high school football team in the country, puts its 44-game winning streak on the line at Fertitta Field tonight against #7 ranked St. Thomas Aquinas High School of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, they will do so on their scientifically advanced synthetic turf playing surface from UBU Sports, the premier provider of synthetic turf systems that optimize performance and maximize athlete safety.

The game will be televised nationally on ESPN at 7:00 p.m. PDT.

Bishop Gorman has two synthetic turf fields — one that is used for multiple sports including football, lacrosse and soccer, and the other at Fertitta Field that is used solely to support the Gaels football team, winners of seven straight state football championships. When it came to selecting the perfect synthetic turf surface for their needs, Greg Piet, Superintendent of Buildings, Safety and IT at Bishop Gorman, evaluated the quality of materials, warranty and which manufacturer could meet the required design parameters.

“In order for the Bishop Gorman football program to achieve excellence, it helps for them to have excellent facilities and equipment,” said Piet. “I am just doing my part to meet the needs of a highly motivated and well supported program.”

The selection of UBU Sports was a perfect fit for the top-ranked football team as UBU Sports synthetic turf systems are widely preferred by teams at the highest level — 13 NFL teams either practice or play on UBU Sports turf. This summer alone, UBU Sports synthetic turf systems were installed at the training facilities for the Tennessee Titans and Buffalo Bills, as well as at U.S. Bank Stadium (Minnesota Vikings) and NRG Stadium (Houston Texans). UBU Sports is also the playing surface at three other NFL venues: MetLife Stadium (New York Jets, New York Giants), Paul Brown Stadium (Cincinnati Bengals) and the Mercedes-Benz Superdome (New Orleans Saints).

“Bishop Gorman recognizes the important role the playing surface has in its players’ performance and safety, and it’s that ongoing commitment to fully supporting its student-athletes that has helped it become one of the best programs in high school football today,” said Mark Nicholls, CEO of UBU Sports.

UBU Sports is a leading brand of synthetic turf surfaces for use in a variety of sporting events, including football, baseball, field hockey, soccer, rugby, and lacrosse. UBU Sports’ fields serve as ground gear for teams ranging from professional franchises (e.g. New Orleans Saints, Minnesota Vikings, Cincinnati Bengals, San Francisco 49ers, Denver Broncos, Tennessee Titans, Buffalo Bills, Chicago Bears, Pittsburgh Steelers, Arizona Cardinals, Houston Texans, New York Jets and New York Giants), collegiate and major indoor arena leagues to local high schools and municipalities. UBU Sports incorporates science and technology into each surface they provide, creating the ultimate ground gear for athletes.
