		<description><![CDATA[ Sportexe Construction Services, Inc., one of the nation’s largest synthetic turf companies, was recently awarded a contract to install two full-sized practice fields for The New York Jets of the National Football League.

Both of the fields will be installed at the Jets’ Florham Park, NJ training facility.  Approximately 77,000 square feet of Sportexe Momentum will be installed at the indoor practice facility, and approximately 103,000 square feet of Sportexe Momentum will be installed on an outdoor practice field.  The fields will feature polyethylene fibers that will be in-filled with a combination of rounded silica sand and SBR rubber

The fields will be installed with tufted-in and inlaid NFL-specified lines, hash marks, inbound markers and numbers.  The new Jets logo will be installed on both fields.

“We are very happy with our decision to use Sportexe at our new Atlantic Health Jets Training Center,” said Bill Senn, Senior Vice President, Practice Facility. “Creating the best learning and practice environment is critical to the success of our team and these fields will contribute to making this facility top-notch.”				

Sportexe is no newcomer to NFL fields.  The Irving, TX based company has installed Sportexe Momentum game fields for the Baltimore Ravens and New Orleans Saints.  The San Francisco 49’ers and Buffalo Bills practice on Sportexe Momentum synthetic turf as well.

Sportexe President and CEO, Stephen P. Noe, is elated by the Jets’ decision.  “We are very excited to be part of the partnership developing this world class practice facility for the New York Jets,” he said. “I am very pleased with the endorsements from the Jets regarding not only the performance of our products, but the confidence that they have shown in our organization to provide them with an artificial turf surface.”

ALCO Sports Construction, Inc. of Lawrenceville, NJ is the general contractor for the project, and will be providing the sub base construction, drainage, etc.  Frank Taylor, Executive Vice President of ALCO, is equally excited about the project.  “We are extremely proud to be working on the New York Jets Facility,” he said. ]]></description>
