CALHOUN, GEORGIA / ACCESS Newswire / January 20, 2025 / The 2025 College Football Playoff National Championship is set for Monday, as college football's ultimate prize will be decided on the FieldTurf artificial turf at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. The venue will host the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and Ohio State Buckeyes in one of the year's most anticipated sporting events, with the former looking for its first national championship since 1988.
FieldTurf has been the preferred surface at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, home to the Atlanta Falcons (NFL) and Atlanta United FC (MLS), since its opening in 2017. The venue's existing FieldTurf surface was replaced with a new FieldTurf CORE system ahead of the 2024 NFL season. The Falcons are one of 11 NFL organizations that use FieldTurf across their facilities, including seven stadium installations.
The Fighting Irish have trusted FieldTurf at Notre Dame Stadium since 2014, a venue where the team has been consistently dominant. Led by Head Coach Marcus Freeman, Notre Dame is currently riding a 13-game winning streak, including a thrilling 27-24 Orange Bowl victory against Penn State.
A Notre Dame win would make them the second consecutive national champion to use FieldTurf's artificial turf on their home field, following last year's University of Michigan title victory. The team also looks to be the first to claim a championship under the new 12-team playoff system.

FieldTurf is a long-recognized leader in delivering synthetic sports surfaces that provide an unmatched combination of performance, safety, and durability. Over 1500 NCAA athletics programs trust FieldTurf.

Other top football programs that play their home games on FieldTurf include the University of Illinois, University of Iowa, University of Louisville, United States Naval Academy, U.S. Military Academy (Army), Rutgers University, and many more.
As the championship game approaches, FieldTurf is once again at the center of what promises to be an electrifying showdown between two storied football programs, determined to add another chapter to their winning legacies.
