Abstract/Contents: | Discusses Disney's Wide World of Sports complex in Orlando, FL. and its high maintenance for the best playing conditions for all athletes from professionals to little leaguers. All fields are made of the same clays and Tifway 419 Bermuda grass that the Atlanta Braves spring training field is composed of. High use of the complex 7 days a week, 365 days a year makes normal maintenance a hassle. The complex includes a stadium, 4 1/2 other Major League-sized baseball fields, a natural grass practice infield, two youth baseball fields, a quadraplex of softball fields, an equal number of sports fields which are used for soccer, football, field hockey, and other events. The complex also includes a fieldhouse, 11-court tennis complex, a track and field complex, All Star Cafe, and a pair of retail shops. Also discusses Murray Cook's relationship with the Atlanta Braves and Disney. Includes information about the drainage on all the fields. |
