Absolute Rules for Use are displayed on temporary signage at various locations within the facility. Please read them carefully; adherence is a must.

Work yet to be completed in the coming weeks includes repairing and replacing the fencing around the fields and along Maryland Ave. as well as installing new drinking fountains.

Stankowski Turf Nearing Completion - July 4, 2009

The rains that kept the work crew away from Stankowski Field for a few days have had little effect on progress. Recent work completed includes inlaying the field marking, completing the Stacked MU Logo Inlay and applying the sand and Ecofill infill product. As of Friday July 3rd, grooming of the field has begun.

After closer inspection, it was determined that the fencing located between the track and the playing fields is in need of replacement. That work will be completed as a second phase of this project with preparation for the work to be completed underway. A walk-through of the fields to determine the volume of work yet to be completed and the fields preparedness for play is scheduled for the coming week.
