As one of the NFL’s premier stadiums, Lincoln Financial Field requires a natural-grass surface capable of withstanding an extremely demanding schedule. Between Philadelphia Eagles home games, postseason matchups, national broadcasts, concerts, and major non-football events, the field must transition quickly while maintaining elite playability and safety. Over the past several years, Hummer Turfgrass Systems has supported the Eagles with comprehensive natural-grass renovations, including multiple full field flip-overs following high-impact events and periods of heavy field usage.
Hummer has been engaged to remove, transport, and reinstall complete natural-grass surfaces with precision and speed, coordinating closely with sod farm partners to ensure rapid turnaround between event windows. Our team has also assisted in upgrading the stadium’s irrigation infrastructure to meet the elevated performance standards required for the 2025 Club World Cup and the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Most recently, Hummer utilized its TopDrain system to rejuvenate the field’s rootzone profile with fresh sand — improving drainage, stability, and long-term playability. By managing the logistics, timing, and technical execution across each renovation cycle, Hummer ensures Lincoln Financial Field remains a safe, consistent, professional-grade surface ready for the Eagles, visiting teams, and international competition.
