The excellent weather has been a boon to the start of this project with recent showers having no effect on the schedule. Similar weather is expected for most of the next week which will continue to provide perfect conditions to keep the project on schedule.
Once again we need to remind our friends that the Stankowski Field playing fields and the surrounding track are now closed until the project completion date of July 13. Those who choose to ignore the fencing and signage risk injury and charges of trespassing, something none of us would like to see.
The Field House restrooms and Sand Volleyball Courts will remain open during this time for use by the members of the Mizzou Campus Community.
As previously reported, MondoTurf with Ecofill Star infill, a two piece artificial turf system ideally suited for the playing and climate conditions found here at Mizzou will replace the Astroturf. MondoTurf is engineered to duplicate the response of natural grass and deliver a superior level of performance and safety than similar products on the market. MondoTurf also excels as an environmentally friendly product. Ecofill is a thermoplastic, odor free compound, 100% recyclable and less prone to heat absorption during times of peak temperatures experienced in Mid-Missouri.
The 1.5 million dollar project is proudly and fully funded by the Student Recreation Activity Fee through a fiscal strategic plan developed and established in 1998 to address Stankowski turf replacement.
Those interested in following progress of the project should continue to visit MizzouRec website where a site webcam image will be displayed along with regular reports on the project. You can learn more about MondoTurf here.
