From here, AstroTurf became the market leader for artificial turf in America and set a high standard for astro turf going forward, with super bowls, world series and European football being played on the revolutionary surface.
Unfortunately for AstroTurf, competitors were on the rise in the early 2000s. These competitors led to the downfall of AstroTurf as they declared bankruptcy in 2004. Since 2004, the AstroTurf name has been purchased and passed around by various companies who have tried to revive the artificial sporting surface.
