KANSAS CITY CHIEFS PREPARE FOR ANOTHER CHAMPIONSHIP ON HELLAS’ MATRIX HELIX® TURF SYSTEM
February 1, 2024
Kansas City Chiefs Griffon Indoor Sports Complex – Saint Joseph, Missouri
Kansas City, MO (February 1, 2024) –
For the fourth time in the last five years, the Kansas City Chiefs are playing in the NFL’s most prestigious championship game. The Chiefs continue to demonstrate that “practice makes perfect,” and Hellas is proud to be the choice provider of the practice field turf system for the Kansas City Chiefs at the Griffon Indoor Sports Complex.
Hellas also installed the turf system at the Intermountain Healthcare Performance Center—home of the Las Vegas Raiders practice facility—where the Chiefs will prepare for their matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Intermountain Healthcare Performance Center features the same Matrix Helix® monofilament turf system as the Chiefs’ practice field.
Kansas City Chiefs Kicker Harrison Butker has always enjoyed kicking the football on Matrix Helix turf stating, “It almost feels like you’re kicking on grass.” The Matrix Helix monofilament turf system the Chiefs practice on can also be found at 12 other NFL team practice facilities and five NFL stadiums.
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes played on Matrix Helix turf at Whitehouse High School in Texas, and recently, his alma mater Texas Tech University converted their field at Jones AT&T Stadium to a Hellas Matrix Helix Turf System.
Hellas President and CEO Reed J. Seaton said, “The Chiefs are a tremendous franchise that continues to raise the bar in the game of football. We are proud to support them in the championship game versus the San Francisco 49ers.”
Michelle Kuhns, Central Region Vice President for Hellas said, “The Chiefs are truly a first-class organization. The Kansas City Chiefs wanted the best playing surface for their players, and they have it. There is nothing better in the industry.”
The Chiefs will face the San Francisco 49ers for the second time in four years at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on February 11th.
