| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles Jerad Minnick, sports turf manager for the Maryland Soccer Foundation, and describes his trip to visit "some of his peers in Europe to see how they keep their pitches and other playing surfaces in good playing condition." Highlights Minnick's visits to various soccer pitches and training grounds in the United Kingdom, including Emirates Stadium, Arsenal Training Ground, St. George's Park, Old Trafford, Etihad Stadium, Carrington Training Ground, and Salford City Stadium. Overviews Minnick's questions that "revolve around rootzone in management of ryegrass" and whether "the disease pressure is different on sand v. native soil." Concludes with Minnick's reflections on his trip, including the amazing professionalism exhibited, the confidence and aggressiveness involved with the renovation processes, the self-sufficiency and efficiency, and the European turfgrass managers' open-mindedness to new technologies. |
