The Georgia Force Arena Football team has entered into an agreement with Sugar Hill to use Gary Pirkle Park’s artificial turf field as their official practice facility. The team will pay the regular rental fee of $50 an hour for daytime practice and $75 an hour at night. The city will also get some free publicity with signage at Force home games at Gwinnett Center Arena and in the team's program.

Pirkle Park opened a year ago with five multi-purpose fields, three with synthetic turf and two with natural grass.
