Commonwealth Stadium Field Renovation - University of Kentucky

JBC was commissioned by the University of Kentucky to renovate the native soil playing field at Commonwealth Stadium. A state-of-the-art 10" reinforced sand rootzone and 4" gravel drainage profile was used to create a perched water table growing medium for the new Bermudagrass turf. An air handling system was included in the design to provide enhanced agronomic performance and heating for the rootzone. The integration of synthetic turf for the player areas and a blue warning track around the edge of the field enhanced the ease of maintenance and helped to further beautify the appearance of the stadium.

Construction is scheduled to begin on the new field in the fall of 2000.
