Construction on the project began in late spring, 2001.

GamePlan-4-Turf, application with electrostatic boom sprayerTo prepare the field for the antimicrobial treatment, it was first disinfected with mPerial® Disinfectant/Detergent. Next, a two-tiered, electrostatic boom sprayer was used to apply GamePlan-4-Turf to the field. GamePlan-4-Turf's key component is powered by ÆGIS Microbe Sheild®, the most advanced, EPA registered antimicrobial available.

The system creates an invisible barrier on synthetic turf fields to control or eliminate the growth of a wide array of bacteria, mold and mildew - and it is warranted for 2 years between applications.
