Extreme Field Makeover

The New England Sports Turf Managers Association has performed an extreme field makeover each of the last three years. They take a beat up field and convert it into a brand new, state of the art playing surface - all in just one week. This years field was in Oak Square in Brighton/Boston Massachusetts. The $100,000 conversion is free to the winning applicant. It includes new soil, grading, sod and irrigation - all installed by volunteer experts. Turf vendors donate the products and NESTMA members donate lots of time, including the Longwood grounds staff. Ben, Andrew, Tim, Neil, Wilson and Mike all took turns working at the field while the rest of the crew covered for them at Longwood. The field was dedicated right in the middle of the conversion by Mayor Menino!
