Go Beyond the Games with the Matrax 4×4 Stadium Event Flooring System
Massive stages, complex video towers and sophisticated sound systems. Major stadium events and concert tours have become increasingly intricate and elaborate, and can create problems for turf managers and facilities managers who must manage a busy event calendar and maintain the quality of their playing fields. All while ensuring a safe environment for workers and guests.

The Matrax 4×4 modular flooring system has been selected by major stadiums around the world as their turf protection solution. Lightweight and easy and fast to install, handle and remove, the HD heavy-duty panels are robust enough to handle fully loaded tractor trailers, cranes and other heavy equipment. The LD pedestrian panels create a safe and stable surface for guests and protects the turf from damage. HD and LD panels integrate seamlessly giving stadiums complete control over their fields, their budget and their schedule.
“The Matrax system is lighter and more durable than the system we used in the past. We can drive semi-trucks, fork lifts and loaders all over the floor at any point we want. Time and money are what we save.” – Rob Strum, Operations Manager, C&W Services for Gillette Stadium

“One of the key factors in bringing in world class events is the turnaround time — bringing in one event to the next event and having that efficient turnover. If we did not have a product like Matrax, we would not be able to turn around the building as quickly, and we would not be able to put as much onto the calendar as we do. Matrax put a lot of thought and best-in-class service into the design of their system. That’s one of the reasons we selected them.”
– Jason Stone, Senior Director of Stadium and Site Operations, Gillette Stadium
Engineered with high density polyethylene, the panels utilize a fully-integrated vertical locking system and features overlapping lips that facilitate load transfer between panels. As a result, these light yet robust panels can be installed with a relatively small work crew and no special equipment.
120,00 square feet of flooring can be installed with 30 workers, 2 supervisors and 4 loaders in just 10 hours.
