About LigaTurf
LigaTurf is used in stadium environments where surfaces need to perform consistently under ongoing use while maintaining a clean, uniform appearance. It is well suited to surrounds, where both durability and presentation are critical.
At GMHBA Stadium, LigaTurf HB250 was installed across the surrounds to support a wide range of event activity. The surface provides a stable and even finish underfoot, while its fibre construction helps maintain structure in areas exposed to regular foot traffic and operational use.
The addition of the Pro Play shock pad layer enhances comfort underfoot and contributes to a more forgiving surface, particularly in zones where players, staff, and equipment are frequently moving.
Why LigaTurf HB250 Was the Right Choice for Kardinia Park
Stadium surrounds must accommodate more than just match-day use. From broadcast operations to event setup and general access, these areas are in constant use across a variety of conditions.
LigaTurf HB250 provides a surface that holds up to this level of demand without compromising appearance. It remains even and stable over time, helping maintain a consistent finish across the venue regardless of usage.
For Kardinia Park Stadium Trust, this ensures the surrounds continue to meet the expectations of a major AFL venue while supporting a full calendar of sporting and entertainment events.
