SAN ANTONIO, Nov. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) broke ground for the state-of-the-art Roadrunner Athletics Center for Excellence (RACE) in March. This facility includes two practice football fields, one synthetic turf and the other natural grass. When searching for a synthetic turf partner UTSA looked no further than Hellas Construction.

"The ongoing construction of our new RACE facility continues to be a shining light during these challenging times," says UTSA Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics Lisa Campos. "We're so excited that by next summer our students, coaches and staff will have access to a first-class facility that will include two practice fields," Campos added.

Hellas Construction installed FusionHXP2™ turf at the Alamodome, home of UTSA Football prior to the 2019 season and the university wanted the same surface for their practice facility. FusionHXP2 is a combination of extremely durable and resilient monofilament fibers with Helix shape memory technology and the traditional slit-film fibers. The installation is scheduled to be completed in April of 2021. The Roadrunners are currently 3-1 at the Alamodome as of November 13.

"We have been very satisfied with our Alamodome playing surface that Hellas installed prior to the 2019 season, so we have the utmost confidence that our new synthetic practice field will be of the same superb quality," Campos added.

In addition to the practice fields RACE will feature locker rooms, a sports medicine center, and strength and conditioning facilities in addition to academic study spaces for student-athletes and offices and meeting rooms for coaches and athletics staff. Once completed in 2021, the nearly 95,000-square-foot facility will provide UTSA student-athletes, coaches and staff with one of the most advanced athletics facilities in Conference USA.

UTSA is one of four Conference USA schools either that play or practice on turf manufactured and installed by Hellas Construction.
