This article has been written to be a guide to direct tender holders, designers, (re)construction companies, contractors, key suppliers, legal authorities, and private companies or affiliates who are related to stadium construction.

This article’s importance comes in that it gives brief but important information about the stadium construction process. In many parts of the world, federations, football clubs and ministries of sports want to build football stadiums, but they experience difficulty finding people and institutions with the right skills. This article aims to enlighten those who have no previous experience in this field or already actively working on stadium construction project planning.

Before Starting to build a Football Stadium

1.  Determination of needs (Purpose)
2.  Funding and Budgeting
3.  Master Plan and Design
4.  Timeline

After Finishing the Plan (Execution)

1. Execution Plan 
2. Construction Management System
3. Legal Policies and Procedures
4. Safety and Security Issues
5. Conclusion

During the beginning phase of a stadium construction process, companies, affiliates, and legal authorities should have outlined the work. These guidelines are answers to basic questions such as what will be the capacity? These basic questions should be determined. Also, it should be certain that if it will be an Olympic stadium construction or a football stadium construction without athletics tracks. In summary, Football stadium design requirements should be determined by the stadium contractors.

In the early stages of the project, it is necessary to reach definite conclusions on funding and budgeting issues. The budgeting should be determined before the project planning stage is started. Different types of solutions can be investigated according to the budget scale of the project. These solutions may vary in different perspectives about construction methods. For example, steel grandstand construction requires much less budget than concrete grandstand construction.

Even if budgeting is completed, the deviation margins in the budget should also be calculated. These deviations should be calculated to predict the raw material and production costs that may increase during the project process. As in every project, budget deviations may occur in football stadium projects too. It is necessary to make a resilient and strong plan against these situations.

At this stage, Rationalsport’s expert team provides services to the relevant organizations in the field of the master plan and design for stadium buildings. We are your solution partner to manage all the processes in football stadium construction, not only at this stage but from the beginning to the end. During this process of the stadium construction, the master plan generally specifies how the project will look and its design highlights. Although it varies from project to project, final drawings can be made optionally as a top of the master plan. If this is desired, it means that the contract terms have been determined and the project has been passed in the construction phase.

The timeline for each project is one of the most important points in the process. The project can be managed better if the timeline is determined at the beginning of the whole process. For example, it would be beneficial to set the key points for the project, set the timeline for the budgeting, the master plan, and design, and the remaining process.

The execution plan shows that the tangible point has been achieved in the process. The determinations are made on the objectives and the arrangements that need to be made on the site. The final drawing stage is usually made at this stage. This part of the construction process is acted on according to the set timeline. All the following stages are interconnected and necessary for each other.

The execution plan phase includes the drawing, the production of physical products, the shipping schedule, and finally the construction planning. The drawing process is carried out by our professional team and can be audited by independent organizations if desired. The production planning of physical products takes place after drawing approval. The construction phase is the final phase where the materials are now on site and the environment for construction is prepared. Such as, when building a football field, all materials are on the site for installation.

This stage determines which methods will be applied to how things will be managed. It should be determined who will be the competent authorities in terms of management and decision-making. While local agencies are authorized in some projects, in many cases the only authorized body for technical changes is the executor company (Rationalsport).

Legal policies and procedures involve obtaining permits from local authorities. In addition, an agreement between the parties must be made before this stage. Rationalsport produces and builds projects according to all local specifications and international standards. At this stage, it may be necessary to seek support from specialist authorities. The management of this process should have been determined in step 2.1.

Safety and security are provided by the local contractor on almost all projects. As one of the stadium construction companies, we can give detailed advice on how to plan to local authorities in this regard. Many stadiums, such as the Sofi stadium, are precious structures. These valuable structures should also have security policies in the long run. It may also be necessary to establish a guideline for long-term care.

At Rationalsport, we are building sports structures in countless countries simultaneously. In your football stadium projects, we will be happy to assist you in every stage of the process. Public spaces are important because it gives incommensurable benefits to society. We are happy to build these projects all around the world. Contact us for more information at info@rationalsport.com

Shock pad is a material used on artificial turf floors due to its many benefits. It makes the field ground feel softer. It is especially recommended to be used for artificial turf applied on hard floors. It is suggested that you should consider having a shock pad before buying artificial grass.

The shock pad laid underneath of artificial landscaping turf applications provides an additional softness to the existing softness of artificial turf. In artificial turf used sports fields, it is seen as a more necessary application. The reason for this is that the shock pad drainage resistance helps to meet international standards.

Drainage resistance is also an important factor in landscaping areas, especially in precipitation areas. Its use is highly recommended in these regions. Especially suggessted to be used under artificial grass in the landscaping area where there are children running or playing, as it is more protective against the risk of falling.

Using shock pad also helps prolong the life of the artificial turf. It will extend the life of artificial turf with the use of shock pads, particularly to artificial turf applied on concrete or hard ground.

To summarize, the use of shock pads for artificial grass is becoming more common day by day. It is increasingly becoming one of the main components rather than being an additional product. To decide whether you need a shock pad for artificial turf, these facts will give you the right idea to review:

Shock Pad Types and Features

There are many different types of shock pads available, depending on the expected function. Shock pad density starts at 30 kg/m3 and increases. In addition, there are shock pads in different millimeters. The 8 mm shock pad is one of the most used entry-level products.

10 mm shock pad is the most used type. As a higher level, 12 and 20 mm shock pads are also available in our stock. Apart from the foam shock pad, there are also waterproof options. A felt layer on these shock pads is placed to absorb water. Felt shock pads are especially used in sports fields.

When calculating the cost of any subject, it is necessary to consider all factors, not just the main ones. In this article, we will consider not only artificial turf but also all the factors that affect the cost when building an artificial grass carpet pitch.

1- The size of the field is one of the biggest factors. The dimensions of the field can be determined according to your budget and the most suitable one can be selected. Standard sizes fall into several categories. For example, 7 Aside football fields are defined as 60 yards (55 m) x 40 yards (36.5 m) according to FIFA standards.

2- Climate. The climatic conditions of your region greatly affect the costs. This is because, for example, in areas with heavy rain, more attention needs to be paid to infrastructure. Shock pad use is indispensable in these areas. In hot regions, it is recommended to choose UV-added, sun-resistant products.

3- Material Cost. This factor is the most easily calculated main factor. The sub-variable of this cost is again the size and location of the site. When calculating the material cost, it is necessary to choose products that will be affordable in the long run, not the short term. Thus, keeping in mind the initial investment cost, it is necessary to choose the right products to prevent possible problems in the long run.

These include infrastructure and ground and landscaping costs. Football artificial turf costs around 5-16 eur/square meters. The average shock pad cost is between 2-5 eur. Filling material is a factor that varies on a monthly basis. The most important factor when choosing materials is the quality scale. The quality of the artificial turf and how many mm is selected are important factors.

4- Installation. It is a cost that varies depending on how many days you want to finish the carpet field. In addition, the cost is directly proportional to the size of the football field. Cost can be kept at an optimum level with auxiliary workers. However, it is important that the master who will direct the assembly is good at his job and that there are no errors and costs caused by the assembly afterward.

5- Infrastructure costs. One of the important cost elements is infrastructure and leveling costs. In some extreme cases, it can be a factor that increases costs. The reason for this is that the land has a difficult soil or stony structure. In addition, location is also important in correcting these factors.

6- Maintenance. After the assembly is finished, the maintenance cost of the carpet pitch varies according to the material used. Artificial grass can be 90% more advantageous in maintenance costs compared to natural grass. While minimal maintenance is sufficient for artificial grass, natural grass requires regular maintenance every day.

Rationalsport offers plans at the most favorable terms for you, taking into account all costs. Our expert team has been managing projects in countless countries around the world for years. For any information and support requests, please contact us.

La Rams’ or called as Sofi Stadium is located in Los Angeles and home of two American Football clubs which are Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Chargers.

La Rams stadium also known as SoFi Stadium was designed by HKS (American architecture company) and forms the stadium itself, including a pedestrian zone, and a concert hall. One of the original points in the design is the roof. The roof can demonstrate images that can be seen from airplanes when flying to LAX airport

The stadium has open sides and seats at 70,240 capacity for most events.The Sofi stadium capacity has the ability to expand up to 30,000 additional seats for bigger events. It also has 13,000 premium seats and 260 luxury suites. The fixed concert hall has a capacity of 6,000 seats. The stadium was designed as the stadium itself and performance hall are considered to be separate facilities under one roof.

Another important component of the stadium’s design is “the Oculus”—an ovular shaped, double-sided 4K HDR video board. It is a first-of-its-kind LED display, suspended from the roof over the field. The structure of the video board weighs 1000 tons, and displays at 80 million pixels. The Oculus also houses the stadium’s 260 high-tech speaker audio system. It also have 56 5g wireless antennas. SoFi Stadium builders call the stadium as the first indoor-outdoor stadium. The super translucent roof lets sun in, the panels have the ability to open and close, and open ends and sides let in breezes from the ocean eight kilometres away.

The stadium’s play field is made with synthetic grass which requires low maintenance and provides long-term usage. This synthetic grass is approved by the NFL and international standards. Artificial turf can be used in many sports, not only football, but also baseball, American football, cricket, field hockey, rugby, tennis, golf and multipurpose fields. The ground looks so fresh and bright with artificial grass and it has the ability to maintain its stability for a long time.

The highest seats at SoFi Stadium (La Rams stadium) are nearly 15 meters closer to the field than a casual stadium. Which gives the comfort for the spectators to watch the game or the event more closely.

Construction cost was 5 to 6 billion dollars which makes the stadium as the most expensive stadium and entertainment center in the world.

It is also called ‘The Campus’ because the stadium is more than a stadium. The reason for that is because the stadium includes a performance hall, outdoor plaza, shopping areas, clubs, etc. It also has a lake out front and a waterfall as well.

Special seats even the the highest areas. Most of the stadiums have uncomfortable seats for an entire game but La Rams stadium has chair form factors in all seats.

Artificial turf production is a job that requires expertise. artificial grass production in Turkey is carried out with skill.

The main product and the most important raw material in artificial turf production is yarn. The quality of the yarn is a factor that directly affects the game efficiency and service life. Artificial turf, made of high quality polymer, preserves its durability for a long time against impacts and friction. It preserves its structure in all weather conditions.

There is no melting or discoloration in very hot weather. It does not break and ruptures do not occur in very cold weather. With its flexible and resistant structure, it prevents the players from being injured. Of course, these situations are valid if high quality artificial grass yarn is used.

The second important part in artificial turf production is the base cloth. The base cloth is a part that holds the ropes together, keeps the yarn stable and prevents breaks. We can say that it is the foundation of artificial turf. Just as a building keeps the foundation standing, the artificial turf keeps the base cloth standing. If the base cloth is not supplied, it will be irritated by friction and cause the threads to separate. In order for the base cloth to be durable, it must weigh at least 160 g per square meter and be covered with quality latex.

If the latex density is low, the base cloth coating will not reach the required hardness and adhesion. This will accelerate the tearing. Rational sports operate in turkey production and uses only the finest yarns. It achieves long-lasting artificial turf by using high density latex in the base cloth.
