Edmonton Rush News Release
EDMONTON, AB- The Edmonton Rush took to the floor surface at Rexall Place today with its brand new turf lacrosse field.
The tradition of excellence at Rexall Place continues as the Edmonton Rush has purchased the best turf lacrosse field available in the market.
The turf lacrosse field was purchased through Sportexe Select, a well-known company for providing turf fields to arena football teams and other National Lacrosse League teams.
The standard turf field is 10 mm of underlay; however the Rush will have a 20 mm of underlay turf. The purpose of the additional underlay is for higher quality and for the longevity of the carpet.
