Matrix Helix from Hellas installed at University of Nebraska's Memorial Stadium

Hellas, a TenCate Company, has completed the installation of its Matrix Helix^® turf system at Memorial Stadium, home of the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers.

"Working with a historic program like Nebraska to provide its athletes with a top-tier surface is a privilege," said Jeff N. Smith, president of Hellas. "Our Matrix Helix turf will deliver best-in-class performance and safety for the Cornhuskers." 

The installation includes Matrix Helix® synthetic turf, Cushdrain® shock pad and Realfill® infill - matching the system installed at the university's indoor practice facility, completed in January 2025.

"I have had the privilege to work with Hellas on several significant projects," said Kortne Gosha, senior associate athletic director, capital planning and facilities at the University of Nebraska. "Their professionalism, attention to detail and superior product quality have consistently exceeded expectations."

The Matrix Helix® turf system is trusted by 14 NFL teams, including the Dallas Cowboys, Tennessee Titans, Houston Texans and Los Angeles Rams, for its durability, playability and consistent performance. Cushdrain® enhances safety and field longevity by absorbing impact and protecting the underlying subgrade, while Realfill® provides optimal traction and shock absorption.

"Hellas continues to be the preferred partner for collegiate and professional sports programs," said Michelle Kuhns, VP of the Central Region for Hellas. "It's an honor to bring our expertise to Nebraska and we look forward to a great season of football on our turf."
