Who invented Astro Turf?

The AstroTurf brand was originally invented by Robert Wright and James Faria, who patented in 1965. It was initially sold under the name of “ChemGrass”, but it was then rebranded as “AstroTurf” only one year later. Its first well publicized use was for the Houston Astrodome stadium in 1966.

Since then Astro Turn has been used in many major stadiums around the world. Astro Turf has come a very long way, and nowadays it is a name that everyone has heard of in one way or the other.
