| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles the Cardinals Stadium in Phoenix, Arizona, highlighting the "design of the natural grass turf system for the stadium's movable tray, the first ever in North America." Also profiles CMX Sports Engineers, a hometown Phoenix company and the designers of the movable tray. Discusses the planning, testing and installation phases of the stadium and movable tray. States that "in mid-March [2006], the long-awaited installation began. First came the laying of a non-permeable plastic liner to provide a water-tight barrier and protect the structural steel in the tray from rusting." Mentions that "the field will travel approximately 740 feet from outside to inside Cardinals Stadium. Estimated time to move the field is about 65 minutes." States that "water will drain through the system to area drains and feed into collector drain pipes running below the field decking." Concludes that "this has been CMX's most visible project because the field will be on national display for a Cardinals' Monday night game, the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, and [in 2007], when Cardinals Stadium will host Super Bowl XLII." |
