1. What do you consider to be the Number One problem that you face in managing this athletic field?

   There are three priorities for any athletic field: drainage, drainage, and drainage!
   Obviously our number one problem in Beaver Stadium is exactly that.

2. How are you currently handling this problem?

   We intensely manage our watering program here at Beaver Stadium. The field is tarped during periods of heavy rain to prevent field saturation and we closely monitor our sprinkler system during periods of drought. We essentially control the soil moisture of this ahtletic field.
