| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the uses and maintenance of the main arena at the Sydney Showgrounds. States that in 2012, the arena underwent renovation to become the home for the Greater Western Sydney Giants, an Australian football team. Notes that there are difficulties in preparing the turf for league play due to the number of events that are held in the stadium shortly before the football season. Explains the process that was undertaken after the stadium hosted the Royal Easter Show, a rodeo show spanning 14 days that left the turf heavily damaged. States that heavily damaged turf was replaced with new sod, and that remaining turf was heavily aerated, cored, and topdressed. |
