Coming This 2026 from BuySod/SodStar
BuySod/SodStar is proud to announce the availability of Stadium Zoysia™ from our farms in Summer 2026. Stadium Zoysia™ is the latest breakthrough in professional-grade turfgrass innovation, setting a new standard for durability, density, and visual excellence. This new varietal is the ideal surface for sports fields, golf courses, and high-performance recreational venues across the Southeast and beyond.
Performance You Can Count On
Stadium Zoysia™ was designed with one goal in mind: unmatched resilience under pressure. In University of Tennessee research trials simulating football traffic, Stadium Zoysia™ demonstrated wear tolerance equal to Tifway 419, along with superior recovery and turf quality. Its rapid rate of spread and tight, dense growth habit deliver the kind of strength and uniformity professional turf managers demand for stadium and athletic field applications.
Key Characteristics
- Fine–Medium Leaf Texture – Smooth, visually refined surface ideal for sports and golf use.
- Dark, Lush Green Color – The deepest zoysiagrass in our BuySod/SodStar collection, maintaining color longer through the growing season.
- Exceptional Shade & Drought Tolerance – Performs reliably in full sun and partial shade with reduced water requirements.
- High Salt Tolerance – Thrives in coastal and reclaimed-water environments.
- Rapid Spread & Recovery – Extensive stolon, rhizome, and root system ensure quick coverage and recovery after wear.
- Short Stolon & Internode Length – Produces a dense, uniform canopy with minimal thatch buildup.
Ideal Applications
Stadium Zoysia™ is built for intense-use environments, including:
- Stadiums & Athletic Fields
- Golf Course Fairways & Tees
- Parks, Municipal Fields, and Recreational Complexes
- High-End Residential Lawns Seeking Sports-Quality Performance
With its proven adaptability, Stadium Zoysia™ thrives throughout the Sunbelt region—extending farther north than many warm-season varieties thanks to its short dormancy period and strong cold tolerance.
Efficient Management & Sustainability
- Recommended Mowing Height: 0.25–1 inch
- Nitrogen Requirement: Less than 2 lbs. annually (in split applications)
- Herbicide Compatibility: Safe for use with standard pre- and post-emergence products used on other zoysia cultivars
These characteristics make Stadium Zoysia™ not only performance-driven but also environmentally efficient, requiring less input to maintain elite-level results.
Certified Purity & Proven Quality
As with all Buy Sod/SodStar professional varieties, Stadium Zoysia™ is certified for purity and genetic uniformity. Each production field is inspected and verified by state certification agencies—ensuring every roll of Stadium turf meets the highest quality standards from farm to field.
Built for the Future of Sports Turf
Available for purchase next summer, Stadium Zoysia™ brings that same elite pedigree to turf managers across the Southeast United States.

Stadium Zoysia™ will be available through BuySod/SodStar’s network of certified producers beginning in Summer 2026.
