Re: New SDSU Football Stadium Site Plan

If anyone is interested in watching them test the video board, it is up and running on the webcam. Seems like they were putting up SDSU vs NDSU graphics.

Great... now I'm going to have to wear a mask to all of the games so I don't get cancer from rubber pellets flying all over the place. (totally kidding, but definitely a hot topic lately)

Thought they were using the soy-based turf, like what is currently in the SJAC??

They are using soy based turf. The "infill" is rubber from recycled tires.

Alright, I guess I am not seeing the crumb rubber infill used in artificial turf elsewhere mentioned in those sources.

Re: New SDSU Football Stadium Site Plan

Looks to me like they are scarifying the sub-grade today, which will likely be followed up by compaction equipment like a pneumatic roller. I would assume this would be followed up by a sub-base and then base material, with geo-textile separators between them and then the actual field turf on top.

ahh-ha....just as I thought.....j/k

Quick question, I beleive the first layer (or 2) are impermeable. Which makes me question where the water ends up.

My guess would be through the pea gravel and out to drain tile around the perimeter of the field.

Thanks for the reply. I think you're correct. I'm curious as to where it goes after that. (Did they put a leech field under the field? Does it empty into a storm drain system?) I'm thinking it would be the same watershed as a parking lot. Civil engineers?

Re: New SDSU Football Stadium Site Plan

Speaking of the parking lot, the hard surface has been removed on the west side to be replaced.

I'm sure it has been beat up pretty bad with all the construction equipment staged there the past 2 years.

Re: New SDSU Football Stadium Site Plan

Guessing they are just taking out what is necessary to build the new entrance plaza and whatnot.

Here is an aerial from last fall showing the old parking lot: https://www.google.com/maps/@44.3210.../data=!3m1!1e3

That Google image must be from a couple of years ago due to the east side bleachers, lack of west side grandstand construction and only having the UPD foundation, right?
