Sun-Sentinel Reports “Perfect Turf” at Dolphin Stadium

COVERAGE SHOWS UGMO AT HOME OF SUPER BOWL XLIV

No matter who your favorites are in the NFL playoffs, next month, Super Bowl XLIV will play out at Miami’s Dolphin Stadium (formerly Land Shark Stadium) where UgMO’s been creating some of the ‘greenest’ turf in the NFL.Landshark_Stadium_Aerial

This past weekend, UgMO made headlines in South Florida’s Sun-Sentinel for its underground work at Dolphin Stadium — home to the Miami Dolphins, the University of Miami Hurricanes and the Florida Marlins MLB team, and host of the 2010 Pro Bowl and Super Bowl XLIV.  As the story illustrates, UgMO soil sensors measure moisture, temperature and salinity in the upper and lower soil levels of the playing field.  From soil to computer screens and smart phones, UgMO delivers state-of-the-art sensor data and best-in-class agronomic reporting to help turf managers determine watering and fertilizing needs.

UgMO is proud to help make professional sports fields like this look their best, but it doesn’t stop there.  Nearly 50 commercial UgMO users — spanning sports turf facilities and golf courses, colleges and municipalities in water-strapped states across the U.S. — have collectively saved 458 million gallons of water to date.  And in 2010, underground sensors will enter the residential market, with the promise of 50%-80% savings in water usage.
