Capital Sports Construction, Inc. contributed to the development of the professional soccer venue in downtown Colorado Springs, CO, known as Weidner Field, home of Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC. As part of the stadium build, our team supported the construction of the synthetic turf playing field with engineered base work, grading, and field preparation designed to meet professional soccer performance standards, including support for a FIFA-quality turf system.
The result is a high-performance playing surface in a purpose-built stadium environment, capable of supporting intense professional competition, training, and large-scale events at elevation.
Working as part of a broader stadium construction team, Capital Sports Construction focused on subsurface elements that directly affect field performance. This included reviewing requirements for the synthetic turf assembly and its underlying shock-pad and infill system—designed to achieve FIFA-style play characteristics—and ensuring the base structure supported proper drainage, stability, and uniformity.
Our work centered on preparing the playing area to receive a professional-quality synthetic turf system. Key activities included:
This base work provided the structural platform required for the advanced turf, infill, and shock-pad assembly used at Weidner Field.
The stadium’s playing surface incorporates a modern turf system designed to deliver consistent ball behavior, safe traction, and reliable shock absorption for professional athletes. Our contribution to the underlying base ensured the synthetic turf—engineered to meet FIFA-informed performance expectations—could operate as intended through long seasons and high-usage schedules.
With the stadium now fully operational, Weidner Field has become a key sports and events destination in Colorado Springs, offering a consistent, professional-quality playing surface for Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC and visiting teams. The underlying base and grading work help ensure the synthetic turf system performs as intended, maintaining field quality through heavy usage, rapid event turnarounds, and varying weather conditions.
By contributing to the foundation of the field, Capital Sports Construction helped support a stadium project that combines advanced turf technology with a modern sports venue, enhancing both player experience and facility reliability.
Weidner Field is an 8,000-seat, soccer-specific stadium located in downtown Colorado Springs, CO. It serves as the home of Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC of the USL Championship and hosts professional soccer matches, community events, and multi-purpose programming on a state-of-the-art synthetic playing surface.
