The Year In Review - Travels of John Mascaro
Page 25
October 2004 - November 2004
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.
This is the tour I led for Dr. Phil Busey from the University of Florida. This is Pro Player Stadium. Alan Sigwart is Sports Turf Manager here. | Pro Player stadium had been re-sodded four weeks previous to these photo being taken as Baseball had just ended and the field was renovated to remove the clay and convert it to football. |
This is some of Dr. Busey's students on the field at Pro Player Stadium as it was being prepared and painted for the Rams game on October 24th. | Here is a profile of the Pro Player Stadium field. It is a sand based field and the sod was also sand based but was one and one half inches thick to prevent it from being torn out as it was played on a week after installation. This is a soil profile taken with the Mascaro Profile Sampler |
While at Pro Player Stadium, we conducted Penetrometer testing with the Turf-Tec Penetrometer. Since the filed had just been completely renovated, the compaction readings were uniform over the entire field. | While at Pro Player Stadium, we also conducted Infiltrometer tests with the Turf-Tec Infiltrometer. The field is a prescription athletic turf field (PAT). |
