Other Installations
Other NFL stadiums which installed Poly-Turf included the New England Patriots' Schaefer Stadium and the New Orleans Saints' Tulane Stadium, shared with Tulane (also the home of the Sugar Bowl). Notable college stadiums included Legion Field in Birmingham, Alabama, and Alumni Stadium at Boston College.
American Biltrite ceased production of Poly-Turf in 1973; 3M stopped the manufacture of its Tartan Turf in 1974, citing rising oil prices. This left Monsanto (AstroTurf) as the only major manufacturer of artificial turf until FieldTurf was started in the late 1990s.
