| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles Eden Park, a rugby and cricket facility in Auckland, New Zealand, and head groundsman Mark Perham. Discusses maintenance challenges at the facility, stating that "excessive rain serves to make maintaining the pitch quite difficult, particularly as far as drainage, humidity and fungal diseases are concerned. And the grass does stop growing in July - the dead of winter in New Zealand." Also states that "the stadium pitch, which also hosts many national and international rugby and cricket matches as well as being the home grounds for the Auckland Blues rugby team and the Auckland Aces cricket team, was re-built [in 2004] and is now an all-sand construction." |
