All of the figures and dates are heavily dependent upon weather, scheduling <br /> practices, and the level of maintenance performed on the natural grass fields. <br /> Maintenance practices alone could easily change some of the estimated numbers of events by 25 to 50% <br /> rn <br /> Q z <br /> v) w <br /> W W H <br /> FIELD TYPE & USE SEASON Q W <br /> ARTIFICIAL TURF Available all year Assume Feb 1 - Dec 15 <br /> Medium Traffic: Soccer, Lacross 45 7.00 5.00 1575 <br /> Intensive Traffic: Football, Rubgy 45 7.00 5.00 1575 1 <br /> NATURAL GRASS - PERCHED SAND BASE (Pape) Mar 15 - Dec 15 <br /> Medium Traffic: Soccer, Lacross Tue, Thur, Sat, Sun 39 4.00 2.00 312 <br /> Intensive Traffic: Football, Rubgy Tue, Thur, Sat 39 3.00 1.50 176 <br /> or Wed, Fri, Sun <br /> or Mon, Wed, Fri <br /> f <br /> NATURAL GRASS - SAND CAP Apr 15 - Nov 30 (assuming reasonably good weather) <br /> Medium Traffic: Soccer, Lacross Tue, Thur, Sat, Sun 32 4.00 1.50 192 <br /> Intensive Traffic: Football, Rubgy Tue, Thur, Sat 32 3.00 1.00 96 <br /> or Wed, Fri, Sun <br /> or Mon, Wed, Fri <br /> NATURAL GRASS - NATIVE SOIL May 1 - Oct 31 (assuming reasonably good weather) <br /> Medium Traffic: Soccer, Lacross Tue, Thur, Sat, Sun 26 4.00 1.50 156 <br /> Intensive Traffic: Football, Rubgy Tue, Thur, Sat 26 3.00 1.00 78 <br /> or Wed, Fri, Sun <br /> or Mon, Wed, Fri <br /> 5/14/99 cmglarch@rio.com <br /> Page 1 <br />
