Abstract/Contents:Summarizes the 2009 renovation of two soccer fields at the University of Kentucky in Lexington, Kentucky. Mentions field conditions prior to the renovation, including inconsistent turf growth and poor drainage. States that "we had to build a sand-based soccer field with internal drainage to handle the wettest possible scenarios...We knew that if we built a field that didn't drain and meet the coaches expectations, our efforts would be a failure." Briefly details the planning and renovation, and concludes that "with careful planning and by performing our due diligence I believe that we...will end up with a game soccer field that will serve us well for years to come."
