Reconstruction of Estadio Único, La Plata, Argentina.
8 years after the official inauguration in February 2011, the pitch in the multi-purpose stadium located in the city of La Plata, Argentina has been reconstructed. Two techniques were combined giving the stadium a pitch worthy of the name "Unique Stadium":
PlayMaster is a carpet-based hybrid grass technology by Tarkett Sports. Read more here.
TerraCottem Universal was applied at 100g/m². Total area of the pitch is 7350m².
In Spring 2019 the new pitch was seeded: the first match was played just 23 days after seeding, almost 2 weeks earlier than estimated.
Alfredo Schappi, responsible for the stadium’s pitch commented:
"The speed of the rooting was the main reason to use TerraCottem. We saw an excellent germination and reaction to the fertilization. Estadio Único is a closed stadium with little light and air. The TerraCottem treated grass reacts better to the foliar feed."
In 2018, we celebrated our 25th anniversary with the publication of 25 customer stories to mark the breadth and depth of the product’s usage throughout the world over the past quarter of a century. The Estadio Único featured in one of these stories: "A truly Unique Stadium".
