Capital Sports Construction, Inc. partnered with Merrimack Soccer Complex in Huntsville, AL to install synthetic turf across eight soccer fields. The project transformed heavily used grass fields into durable, all-weather playing surfaces designed to support tournament play, league schedules, and community recreation with minimal disruption from rain or overuse.
The upgraded fields significantly increase the complex’s capacity to host games and events, while providing consistent footing, predictable ball response, and a professional-quality experience for players and spectators.
The project began with a detailed review of the existing field layout, grading, and drainage conditions across the complex. Design work focused on establishing uniform field elevations, efficient stormwater management, and an engineered base structure capable of supporting eight synthetic turf fields used intensively throughout the year.
Construction activities included removal of existing grass surfaces where needed, regrading to achieve target slopes, and installation of compacted aggregate base layers under each field. Drainage infrastructure was integrated into the base system to handle heavy rain while preserving surface integrity and playability. Each field’s sub-base was prepared to meet the structural demands of a modern turf system under frequent competitive use.
With base work in place, synthetic turf systems were installed on eight soccer fields. The installation included:
The new surfaces support fast-paced soccer with reliable footing and consistent play across every field.
Following the turf installation, Merrimack Soccer Complex can support significantly more games, practices, and events with fewer interruptions from weather or field rest requirements. The synthetic turf fields provide a reliable, professional-feeling environment for players of all ages and levels, from recreational leagues to competitive tournaments.
The complex now offers durable, low-maintenance fields that help the city meet growing demand for soccer programming, while ensuring that surfaces remain consistent and safe throughout the playing season.
Merrimack Soccer Complex in Huntsville, AL is a major regional hub for soccer, serving local clubs, youth programs, adult leagues, and visiting tournament teams. The conversion of multiple fields to synthetic turf supports the complex’s role as a high-capacity, year-round soccer destination.
