Removal Active Panels (RAP)
Stadiums are forced to consider a fundamental change in the way they utilize the stadium field that they manage. TURFalliance has pioneered critical technology that allows stadiums to maximize revenue and optimize operational efficiency.
These Removable Active Panels (RAP) allow stadiums to utilize their stadium floor footprint for multiple users and enhance the stadiums ability to accommodate new revenue sources while securing the benefits of operational efficiency and reduced costs. Team logos, end zones, lines and strategic areas can be removed, changed and stored through this proven strategy.
Conversion Solutions are necessary to allow for more events. The RAP System and surface protection tiles are critical elements for any conversion strategy.
Minimal changeover time (Maximum 12 hours) and reducing the cost of each conversion is required to be successful.
Maximizing stadium revenue requires the ability to host all events – large and small. Conversion of the stadium floor is the key. Various sports, multiple teams sharing the same stadium and all types of events require a RAP System and a professional protection strategy for the surface during non-sport events. While renting protective tiles for individual events continues to be an option, a recent study concluded that any stadium that hosts more than three events annually requiring turf surface protection will find the ROI (Return On Investment) optimal to purchase a turf surface protection system.
RAP Systems are large sections of professional quality synthetic turf that can be changed out efficiently and stored effectively. The key to the RAP system is that it is not a modified surface to accommodate conversion, but rather a conversion solution for the professional grade surfaces. Player safety and surface performance are critical aspects of any successful stadium. The concept of modifying the surface by taking weight out and removing material to make it easier to remove and handle is flawed. The RAP System is a proven conversion strategy previously utilized at professional stadiums such as U.S. Bank Stadium and MetLife Stadium. Featured in the newly constructed Tottenham Spurs stadium, the RAP System affords changeable end zones, midfield logo, 6-foot field border and 9 strips that run the length of the field exposing the rail system and incorporating the natural grass tray.
Stadium Solution
Our RAP system has been successfully utilized by multiple national recognized stadiums and 4 NFL Superbowls. Stadiums face unique challenges – limited changeover time, increased revenue demands, optimal surface performance demands and limited storage options. Temporary protective flooring and heating systems are just two elements that can be incorporated to ensure the solution meets all the demands placed on the stadium. The ability to convert key sections of the playing surface efficiently and conveniently to accommodate multiple sports teams allows the stadium to host more events and optimize the venues revenue.
