H~ tachrcr~,t ~ <br />November 17, 2003 <br />Soccer Field Research Report: <br />-a <br />Phone conversation with Cluis Drake, CASL's facilities manager: <br />At the WRAL soccer center, CASL has 25 fields, the adult fields are 100 x 50 yds, some <br />have a width of 65 yds, max. Most fields at WR.AL, are irrigated with a Bermuda mix (rye <br />or fescue) <br />At the Cedar Fork fields, CASL has 8 fields, 100 x 50 yds for adult fields. <br />Some of the CASL fields aze not irrigated, they have a mixture of fescue and Bermuda <br />(perennial) <br />As far as economies of scale, Chris couldn't exactly say how much money would be <br />saved, but that in his experience at WR.A.I,, its better to build multiple fields, He also <br />noted from Iris experience a typical field should cost around $125,000. If we subtract the <br />"extras" at Maple View, (fence, soil amenities, bollard, irrigation, well, tank, and wood <br />edging,) we are down to azound $125. I think at Maple View we were at a disadvantage <br />with the existing land features, and the poor pressure from the well, resulting in the tank <br />and pump, (and higher cost.) <br />In speaking with other parks designers and folks who have experience with specifically <br />soccer field construction, a four field complex seems to be the best in terms of economies <br />of scale. <br />
