Butte, MT - An increasing number of schools across North America are moving their graduation ceremonies outdoors. Whether adhering to Covid regulations or aiming to boost attendance capacity, there’s a definite trend towards setting up large events on outdoor athletic fields.

But making that switch means investing in turf protection and that’s where COVERMASTER® can help by providing the best in stadium flooring. That’s what happened in Butte, Montana early this year when 12,000 square feet of MASTERSHIELD PLUS™ portable event flooring arrived at Montana Tech University.

The new turf protection mats will be used to cover and protect the synthetic turf on Bob Green Field at Alumni Coliseum, home to the Montana Tech Orediggers. When they’re not hosting football games, the 2,000-seat stadium can hold multi-purpose events, including this year’s grad ceremonies, by quickly and easily installing the their new turf protection flooring.

MASTERSHIELD PLUS™ tent flooring is ideal for high volume pedestrian traffic. Its translucent sheets overlap to create easy-to-install, cost-effective stadium turf protection for both natural and synthetic fields. Sunlight can penetrate the flooring, allowing natural turf to stay covered for longer periods of time while retaining its health and color. The artificial turf protection’s overlapping design prevents spilled liquids from damaging the surface below.
