Editing FieldTurf (section)

===Gridiron football===
The first installation of FieldTurf in the United States took place at [[Dick Bivins Stadium]] in Amarillo, Texas (which was the home field for the [[Amarillo Independent School District]]'s football teams) in 1998. The first major college football installation was at University of Nebraska's [[Memorial Stadium, Lincoln|Memorial Stadium]] in 1999. The following year, it was installed at the two [[Pac-10]] stadiums: [[Martin Stadium]] in [[Pullman, Washington|Pullman]], [[Washington (state)|Washington]] and [[Husky Stadium]] in [[Seattle]]. The first installation in an NFL (and by extension, professional) stadium was in 2002, at the [[Seattle Seahawks]]' new stadium, known as [[Lumen Field]]. Originally planned to have a natural grass field, the Seahawks instead decided to install FieldTurf after they had played the two previous seasons in Husky Stadium on that surface, and to ease conversion and footing concerns for a future [[Major League Soccer]] team in the venue, which has been shared with [[Seattle Sounders FC]] since 2009 (natural grass is brought in and installed over the FieldTurf for FIFA-sanctioned events).<ref>{{cite press release|url=http://www.fieldturf.com/en/artificial-turf/artificial-turf-news/field-turf-to-be-installed-at-multi-purpose-stadium|title=FieldTurf: Field Turf to be Installed at Multi-Purpose Stadium|website=fieldturf.com|access-date=November 5, 2017}}{{When|date=May 2022}}</ref>
