The Year In Review - Travels of John Mascaro

The below photo's are a photo journal for my website visitors to enjoy. I have been fortunate to have been able to travel from time to time and with each trip, I photograph turfgrass conditions that I encounter. I will continue this forum and add to the photo's (and of course soil profile samples) as I continue to travel from place to place.


In April I had the opportunity to visit Florida State University, Tallahassee, Florida and see the campus. This is Doak Campbell Stadium.	Doak Campbell Stadium at Florida State University, Tallahassee, FL was being renovated with new drain lines, irrigation and a complete new field. This is the installation of the drain lines and gravel layer.

This is myself on the field at Doak Campbell Stadium, Florida State University, Tallahassee, FL. Brian Donaway is Athletic Fields Supervisor.	This is FSU's new baseball stadium that was just being completed.

This is inside FSU's new baseball stadium looking out on the field.	This is Justin Wilmot, Assistant Sports Turf Manager at Florida State University showing the baseball field.

This is a soil profile of the baseball field at FSU. Even though the stadium is brand new, the field was not re-constructed. It is a native soil field about 60% sand and 40% clay. The soil profile was taken with the Mascaro Profile Sampler	This is the new softball stadium and field at Florida State University, Tallahassee, FL.

This is the soccer field at FSU. The area had been experiencing high winds for weeks at the time of this photograph and you can see the sprinkler pattern from the easterly winds.	This is a soil profile taken with the Mascaro Profile Sampler of the Soccer field at Florida State University. The soccer field was constructed from 100% sand and has a propensity to dry out much quicker then the native soils.
