Chenango recently completed work on the new field at Hornell High School. How fitting that the Hornell football team, 2011 New York State Class B Champions, will now be playing on the same kind of field that the pros play on. The competition has their work cut out for them!

Hot on the heels of getting the nod to install a new synthetic turf field at Hornell High School, Chenango was recently selected as the contractor of choice by SUNY Geneseo and SUNY Albany. Both schools are upgrading their current sports fields with a state-of-the-art FieldTurf product. We take great pride in being upstate New York’s only distributor and installer of FieldTurf. It’s also exciting to add two new schools to our resume of work!

Just weeks after the installation of their new FieldTurf field, the Taconic Hills Athletic Director, James Derby, couldn’t wait to express his delight with the new field. Derby remarked “I can’t say enough good things about FieldTurf and Chenango. The crews that worked on our field did an amazing job and they were extremely professional and hard-working. As far as the field goes, well, it speaks for itself. I’ve never felt so confident in being able to use a field for practices, games, and scrimmages. I couldn’t have imagined how much we would use our new field. Even with the snow we received in late October, we were still able to play football, field hockey, and soccer when other schools couldn’t get on their fields. Thank you Chenango! We love our new field!” What can we say? We’re thrilled that James is thrilled!

David Cook, Director of Health, Physical Education and Athletics at the Maine-Endwell School District, spoke recently of his satisfaction with the district’s new FieldTurf field. Cook commented “Maine-Endwell CSD is very pleased with the new FieldTurf field. Prior to installing the turf, our grass stadium was used for 10 football games a year. The first year with FieldTurf we hosted 94 contests – football, soccer, field hockey, and lacrosse – as well as other school teams and youth programs (not including practices and physical education classes using it as well). It is nice knowing your facility will be playable no matter what the weather. The FieldTurf field has held up extremely well with all the use, and with very little care. M-E highly recommends FieldTurf and Chenango!” Did we mention that M-E’s football team won the state championships this year? The Spartans football team, Chenango, and FieldTurf are a winning team!
