Brock USA Honors the Paragon Star Sports Complex
Brock USA is excited to acknowledge the remarkable achievements of the Paragon Star Sports Complex, which recently received the Outstanding Multi-Field Facility of the Year award from the American Sports Builders Association (ASBA). This honor highlights the exceptional design and construction of the facility, showcasing what's possible in sports infrastructure.
Recognizing Exceptional Design and Innovation
The Paragon Star Sports Complex is a state-of-the-art facility that includes 10 FIFA-certified AstroTurf synthetic soccer fields. These fields not only meet rigorous standards but also incorporate the innovative Brock Safety System. This system features a shock pad under the turf, drastically enhancing player safety and comfort, while the 100% organic infill helps to maintain a temperature that is significantly cooler than conventional fields.
Flip Short, the Founder and CEO of Paragon Star, expressed pride in the completion of the facility, stating, "We promised the community that we would build a premier sports venue. We realized this vision with a dedicated design and construction team. This achievement is a testament to our commitment and collaborative spirit, and we greatly appreciate ASBA's recognition of our work."
Facility Features and Benefits
The Paragon Star Sports Complex stands out not only for its professional-grade fields but also for a host of additional features designed to enhance the user experience. The complex includes wide pedestrian walkways, advanced Musco sports lighting for nighttime play, video scoreboards, and seating for 1,200 spectators. Moreover, the design allows for custom sports markings instead of permanent lines, giving versatility for different sporting events.
Dan Sawyer, founder and CEO of Brock USA, added, "The owners had high aspirations for quality from the start by seeking FIFA certification and demanding a high-performance turf system. Brock USA successfully met these requirements with essential safety features, such as an impact-absorbing shock pad and organic infill, ensuring the playability mimics that of natural grass."
A Testament to Collaborative Craftsmanship
The Paragon Star Sports Complex, completed recently, represents a successful collaboration among leading professionals in sport facility design and construction. Key players in this project included LAND3 Studio as the designer, Mid-America Sports Construction as the builder, and LigaTurf by AstroTurf for the turf itself. The innovative BrockFILL and Brock ShockPad Series 17XL components contributed to the complex's exceptional performance.
Creating this award-winning facility required overcoming significant challenges, including transforming the original wetlands site. This process involved extensive collaboration with environmental agencies, moving substantial amounts of earth, and raising the elevation to safeguard against flooding effectively. Such achievements position the Paragon Star Sports Complex as a model for future sports facilities.
