| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses how the "Energy Australia Football Stadium at Newcastle ran into some major problems during the spring (November)." Explains that "the timing of a soccer match unfortunately created a problem with the planned renovation." States that the field was thought to be a "real mess only to find that the grass and playing surface had not been disturbed...[and] one would not know that a soccer game had been played on the field in heavy rain the night before as it had come out damage free." Concludes that "the reason for the Conquest holding up so well is attributed to the exceptional root system, it being a tough wearing grass and its ability to cover weakened areas quickly." |
