School Sells Ad Space on Field Surface to Pay for Synthetic Turf

Additional funding for the synthetic turf field came from clubs and donations. Has taken a novel approach to raising the necessary funds to pay for their new artificial turf field, a high school in Belleville, iL. The high school has sold ad space on the surface of the field itself to local companies. The field currently has 20 ads displayed in panels in the synthetic turf itself, including a local Chick-Fil-A.

Or replace it with a new ad-paneled synthetic turf, and when the companies want to get rid of the ads, all the high school has to do is cut out the turf with the ad display on it and replace it with a synthetic turf that matches the color of the rest of the field, the ad panels are currently sold for five-year periods.

Habituates them to playing on a surface material that is quickly becoming the standard material in high school sports and, the synthetic turf surface allows them to practice on the field 365 days a year, no matter the weather conditions. Installing the artificial turf in the field can be prohibitively high-priced for many high schools, still. For many high schools, installing artificial turf gives their teams a competitive edge.

It's a proven efficient option of raising money to pay for synthetic turf fields that you may want to propose at your next school board meeting.
