Protect the Field. Protect Your Reputation.
At stadiums, concert venues, and outdoor events, first impressions matter. The turf is your stage—and nothing ruins the scene faster than muddy ruts, crushed grass, or warped plywood sheets underfoot. In the event industry, appearance is part of performance, and clients expect professional-grade protection that’s both reliable and visually clean.
That’s why event organizers and venue managers are turning to BAM! Ground Protection Mats—the trusted choice for protecting high-value turf with durability and style.
The Problem with Plywood
For decades, plywood was the fallback for temporary turf protection. But modern events have outgrown that approach.
- Warped and splintered boards create tripping hazards for guests and crews.
- Uneven seams make it impossible to roll carts, stages, or heavy equipment safely.
- Water damage and staining leave ugly brown spots on turf after just one use.
- Inconsistent appearance makes even well-planned setups look disorganized.
Plywood simply wasn’t designed for high-traffic, high-visibility applications. It’s a stopgap that cheapens the look of an event and adds hours of cleanup once the crowd goes home.
The BAM! Advantage: Built for Show and Performance
BAM! Ground Protection Mats are designed for demanding, high-visibility jobs like yours. Made from 3/8″ high-density polyethylene (HDPE), these mats won’t absorb moisture, crack, or splinter. They’re strong enough to support trucks, forklifts, and staging gear—yet light enough (just 56 lbs per 4×8 panel) for quick setup by hand.
Their Hi-Vis Safety Green finish stands out clearly, making walkways and access paths safe and easy to identify. For nighttime or large-scale events, this high-contrast color helps with organization and crowd safety, while keeping everything looking uniform and intentional.
And when the event ends? The turf underneath stays pristine—no gouges, no dead grass, no extra re-sodding costs.
Applications that Demand Professional Protection
BAM! mats are trusted wherever presentation and performance intersect:
- Concert venues and stadiums: Protect natural or synthetic turf during setup, staging, and teardown.
- Festivals and fairs: Create stable paths for food trucks, forklifts, and heavy foot traffic.
- Corporate or community events: Safeguard lawns and courtyards from vehicles and equipment.
- University sports fields: Keep fields game-ready while accommodating tents, bleachers, or sponsor displays.
BAM! mats were even used on the field at the University of South Carolina football game, supporting electric vehicles during a halftime demonstration—proof that even the pros trust BAM! when the spotlight’s on.
Professional Appearance, Every Time
Event sites need to look as good as they function. BAM! mats stack neatly, deploy quickly, and maintain a consistent, clean look from setup to teardown. Unlike plywood, which absorbs stains and warps after one rainy day, BAM! mats wipe clean and look professional job after job.
For event contractors and venue partners, that visual polish makes a lasting impression—both with clients and attendees.
Reusable, Reliable, and Ready for Anything
Each BAM! mat is designed for long-term value. Crews can reuse them for years without worrying about breakage or degradation. That means fewer replacements, less waste, and lower operating costs across your entire event schedule.
The result: your business runs smoother, your sites stay safer, and your clients stay impressed.
