SAN JOSÉ STATE UNIVERSITY SPARTAN STADIUM FIELD RENOVATION, SAN JOSÉ
San José State's popular Spartan Stadium has become a year-round sporting and entertainment venue for the University. To meet the demands placed on the Stadium, the University elected to replace the natural turf field with a synthetic turf system. The synthetic turf system provides significant advantages for the University: it will reduce the amount of field use time lost to inclement weather conditions and substantially reduce maintenance time and water usage.
The design process was a collaboration between Verde Design, the San José State University Facilities Development & Operations department, and Spartan Athletics.
Construction was completed in time for the University's annual Commencement Ceremonies in May 2009.
Project Program
Replacement of existing natural turf with synthetic turf system; permanent football striping and graphics; new sub-drain system; state-of-the-art automated turf watering system; and new electrical and data infrastructure
Construction Cost
$1.3 million
