Fifth Third Bank Stadium recognized by Sports Turf Managers Association

For the fourth consecutive year, 成人直播鈥檚 Fifth Third Bank Stadium has been recognized as one of the top playing fields in the country by the Sports Turf Managers Association.

The STMA named Fifth Third Bank Stadium its 2018 鈥淔ield of the Year鈥� in the College Sporting Grounds category. The multi-purpose stadium is the centerpiece of 成人直播鈥檚 and hosts about 50 events a year.

Kennesaw State secured the award after installing a hybrid turf earlier this year that gives Fifth Third Bank Stadium a more durable and sustainable field. The Tarkett PlayMaster reinforced natural turf 鈥� a blend of synthetic fibers and natural grass 鈥� eliminates the need for annual re-sodding of large portions of the field while also providing a safe playing surface.

Precision Turf, which manages 成人直播鈥檚 athletic fields, grew a plot of the hybrid turf at its farm in Braselton and suggested it as a viable option for Fifth Third Bank Stadium. Sports turf manager Shane Hohlbein heads Precision Turf鈥檚 efforts at Kennesaw State, along with Jared Kent and Parker McGlone.

鈥淭he condition of our field is central to all that we do, and we are lucky enough to have a great team in Precision Turf that works steadfastly to make our facility the best of the best,鈥� said Zach Kerns, executive director/general manager of the 成人直播 Sports + Entertainment Park. 鈥淲e are able to provide our student-athletes and coaches with a first-class facility while maintaining a strong, durable field that can handle our heavy schedule at Fifth Third Bank Stadium.鈥�

Opened in 2010, Fifth Third Bank Stadium is the home of the Kennesaw State football, soccer and lacrosse teams and the Atlanta Blaze of Major League Lacrosse. The stadium also hosts a variety of events throughout the year, including the Owl-O-Ween hot air balloon festival and the Star-Spangled Spectacular concert and fireworks show. The venue鈥檚 attendance record was set in June when 9,743 fans watched Atlanta United defeat Charleston Battery in the U.S. Open Cup soccer tournament.

The 鈥淔ield of the Year鈥� awards are presented annually by the STMA to collegiate, professional and recreational venues based on playability, appearance, utilization of innovative solutions and effective use of budget. The winners will be recognized at the STMA Conference and Exhibition in Phoenix, Arizona in January.
