| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles the Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit, South Africa, focusing on field preparations for the 2010 FIFA World Cup Tournament. Explains that upon inspection 100 days before the tournament, "the rootzone and turf used were not up to specification and needed replacement." Details the development plan for the field which focused on improving the rootzone and preparing the pitch for the installation of a reinforcing system. Briefly details the management program employed after the field was fully established, and concludes that "there was so much at stake and it was pleasing to finish with a great result, not only for FIFA and the LOC [local organizing committee], but also most importantly for the people of Nelspruit." |
