FIELD TURF for several years.
Not surprisingly, the City of
Salem isn't just talking about it -
it's getting ready to throw down a rug
of the stuff that it's 390 feet long
and 235 feet wide.

"Spartan Field" Next month construction will
begin on the current soccer and
lacrosse field that is located just to
the right of the entrance of Salem high
school.
The plan is to not only replace
the current grass with state of the art
artificial field turf, but to turn the
venue into the top soccer and lacrosse
facility on this side of the state that
will be known as Spartan Field.

The plans for the new field call
for much more than just a playing
surface. The facility will be
completely fenced in with a festive
entrance and ticket collecting area.
Permanant grand stands that will
seat 15 hundred will be in place along
with concession stands, and press box
with a phtographers deck, not to
mention plenty of parking.
The plan is for the entire
project to be finshed by next fall in
time for sandlot football and fall
soccer.

GRAPHIC=FFE Now if things go well with this
field turf project, Salem will no doubt
next look to putting the synthetic
surface at Salem Stadium.
But even if that happens - it
won't be the first Friday Football
Extra stadium with Field Turf.

:00 That distinction belongs to the
folks in Amherst County.
Lookat how this stuff can dress
up a field and an entire stadium.
Like so many schools the past
couple of years, Amherst found its main
field destroyed by heavy rains and
heavy use, but unlike so many others -
decided to do something about it.
The Field turf installation was
finished in the middle of February,
soccer has been playing on it this
spring and the Lancers' football team
can;t wait to christen it in August.
