Abstract/Contents:"The review covers the construction and maintenance of soccer and other winter games fields in Northern Europe. As these sports are played during the wettest part of the year in Northern Europe, soil is subjected to compactive forces and structural damage results. The demand for modern sports requires soil conditions that the majority of soils cannot supply, i.e. adequate porosity. Different methods of playing field construction, such as soil amelioration; slit drainage; sand carpet; plastic-lined sectional systems and pure sand constructions, are discussed. Research is reviewed on the effectiveness and the general management of sports fields."
