When stadiums and arenas host large-scale outdoor concerts, festivals, and event productions, the biggest challenge is protecting the natural grass or sports turf from heavy foot traffic, staging equipment, and vehicle loads. This is why ground protection mats—also known as stadium flooring, temporary ground protection, trackway mats, and turf protection panels—have become essential for event professionals.
Whether you are managing a world-tour concert, setting up stage scaffolding, or moving lighting and audio trucks across the field, choosing the right ground protection solution can save thousands in turf restoration costs and keep stadium owners satisfied.
Stadium grass is delicate and easily damaged. Without proper protection, concerts can cause:
Deep tire ruts from vehicles and forklifts
Soil compaction (slows turf growth)
Grass suffocation from heavy staging
Muddy, unsafe walkways for attendees
Expensive turf refurbishment after the event
Using temporary stadium flooring creates a safe, stable, and durable working surface while preventing long-term grass damage.
Ground protection mats distribute loads over a wide surface area, preventing crushing and root damage.
Commercial-grade HDPE / UHMWPE mats can handle:
Trucks
Forklifts
Stage generators
Lighting towers
Making them perfect for live event logistics.
Many mats are engineered with anti-slip textures, keeping crew and performers safe even in wet conditions.
With interlocking systems, large areas can be covered within hours—ideal for time-sensitive event schedules.
Durable plastic mats won’t absorb moisture, warp, or rot—rain or shine.
Lightweight

Stadium facility managers
Production companies
Municipal event organizations
Increasingly, stadium owners require ground protection flooring in their contracts to ensure turf preservation.
Typical recommendations:
12–15 mm → Pedestrian walkways
15–20 mm → Light equipment
20–40 mm → Heavy vehicles & forklifts
Consulting with a manufacturer ensures you choose mats suitable for your load requirements.
Look for:
UV resistance
Anti-slip patterns
Lightweight panel design
Custom colors
Branding/logo engraving
Fire resistance (for safety compliance)
These features add value and extend product lifespan.
Hosting concerts and large-scale events in stadiums no longer means risking permanent turf damage. High-quality ground protection mats create safe access for vehicles and crowds while maintaining the integrity of sports fields.
