| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles Toyota Park in Chicago, Illinois, "the fourth major soccer-specific field in the United States, [featuring] a turf-conditioning system underground." Highlights the heating system, stating that it "consists of roughly 28 miles (over 150,000 linear feet) of 3/4-inch Uponor Wirsbo hePEX plus tubing, which serpentines from end zone to end zone, eight inches on center and 10 inches below the 200 by 425-foot playing surface." Describes the four heating zones of the field, explaining that "the field is segmented into four heating zones, also running the length of the field from goal to goal. Each zone contains 42 PEX loops and two temperature sensors that sit within underground boxes connected to one another with plastic conduit." Mentions that "the rail system is a major upgrade over an older method of securing the tubing to the field." |
