Lake Forest College

After playing on natural grass for years, Lake Forest College (formerly used for training by the Chicago Bears) decided to switch to a synthetic surface for their 2004 season.

Head Football Coach, Chad Eisele, said he found Sportexe to be the most helpful in the process of choosing a new surface. "They did a great job explaining the product. We're impressed with the quality of Momentum® and we're excited to play on it this fall," said Eisele.

"This new field is part of the school's commitment to our sports programs," he added. "Now [we can] host both football and soccer - and other activities -- without concern about wear and tear."

He said his team is enthusiastic about the surface, as they've been playing on an increasing number of synthetic systems in recent years. "We're one of many schools moving to synthetic," said Eisele. "We've been looking forward to doing this for awhile," he added.
