Revealing the Real Numbers! How Many Years to Break Even Investing in an Artificial Turf Football Field? (2026 Updated Edition)
Many people who are planning to build an artificial turf football field often have key questions on their minds: "Is it worth it?" and "How long will it take to break even?" Today, GreenyGrass will take you through a breakdown of the budget and estimated revenue based on real data compiled from over 19 years of taking care of our clients.
Case Study: Investing in a 7-a-side Football Field (Standard Size 33x53 Meters)
For construction of the highly popular 7-a-side football field, we have summarized the investment and revenue figures based on a "minimum estimate" to provide you with the clearest possible business overview as follows:
1. Initial Investment Budget
- Artificial Turf Pitch + Base Foundation System + Lighting System: Approximately 2.2 Million Baht
(Note: This figure may vary depending on actual site conditions and the specific grade of artificial turf selected)
2. Estimated Revenue (Calculated from a Minimum Revenue Base)
We calculate based on an average field rental fee of 1,300 - 1,500 Baht/hour, focusing specifically on the prime Golden Hour period (6:00 PM - 10:00 PM) only.
- Revenue from Regular Rentals (4 hours/day): 1,300 x 4 hours = 5,200 Baht/day
- Total revenue per month (30 days) = 156,000 Baht
- Revenue from Special Activities (Saturday-Sunday): Such as hosting leagues or Academies (calculated at a rental rate of just 1,000 Baht/hour)
- Additional revenue per month (8 hours/week) = 32,000 Baht
- Total Average Revenue per Month: 156,000 + 32,000 = 188,000 Baht
*Investor's Perspective: For planning safety, we recommend setting a minimum monthly revenue target of 160,000 Baht (excluding secondary income streams from beverage sales, tournament hosting, or in-field advertising banners).
