Premiership Rugby Champion Saracens' Allianz Park Pitch Getting Upgrade

SIS Pitches announced the "upgrade of the synthetic pitch" at reigning Premiership and European Rugby Champions Cup holders Saracens, according to PITCH CARE. The new SISTurf system "comes three-and-half years after the original installation at the club's Allianz Park." The pitch will also "feature a new, larger sized recycled infill, which helps promote better drainage and less compaction than the current pitch, and helps provide a fast and safe playing surface, perfect for top level rugby and mid-week community use." The existing pitch will "now be carefully lifted ready for installation elsewhere," and despite over 350 matches, an estimated 7,750 hours of community use and close to half a million spectators able to walk on the pitch after matches, the surface "still has plenty of life left in it" (PITCH CARE, 7/30).
