The Sports Turf Managers Association has named Lambeau Field the 2009 Field of the Year for professional football, an award Fields Manager Allen Johnson and his staff can take considerable pride in. "Of all the NFL stadiums, ours has the shortest growing season and sometimes the harshest weather conditions, but despite that we're still doing a really good job," Johnson said. "Consistently I think our field has played very well - that's the most important thing - and it ranks right up there as far as aesthetics." A panel of STMA judges evaluated all of the entries in several categories - playability and appearance of the playing surface, innovative solutions employed, effective use of budget, and the development and implementation of a comprehensive, sound agronomic program. Johnson submitted a lengthy application that included all the details behind the reconstruction of the field with the DD GrassMaster system in 2007 and the process of maintaining the new surface since then. Johnson's submission also included dozens of photos depicting some of the difficulties encountered and what was done in response. Full Story Wooooo put that in your pipe!
