In the world of large-scale event hosting, the ability to adapt and remain flexible is crucial for venues catering to diverse audiences.

TerraTrakPlus can be quickly and easily installed or removed, allowing the venue to switch seamlessly between events. Since the purchase, London Stadium has successfully hosted a diverse series of major events, including Monster Jam, Burna Boy, Foo Fighters, and the MLB London series featuring the New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies.

TerraTrakPlus is designed to accommodate the immense weight and stresses of heavy machinery and 100+ ton cranes, crucial for setting up major events in stadiums and arenas.

In April 2024, the stadium further invested in bespoke steel stillages to streamline the storage and handling process while ensuring the tiles’ longevity and integrity, thereby maximising London Stadium’s return on investment.

Darren Raczkowski, Director of Operations at London Stadium, explained why TERRAPLAS was chosen for the venue: “As with all products on the market, we evaluate a number of key metrics, from value for money, performance, longevity and lifecycle within a multi-use environment. […] TerraTrak Plus was assessed to be the best product currently in the marketplace that met all our key requirement for the main pitch area.”

Darren explained further: “Some of the key benefits which meant TerraTrak Plus worked well within our specific environment, is dealing with different gradients of pitch areas, which makes for a smoother transition when you have varying levels of the protected area. We know that plastic products can expand and contract in the changing temperature environments of a stadium, the design of TerraTrak Plus enabled us to deal and compensate with this fluctuation extremely well.”
