Synthetic turf to be installed at Warrior Athletic Field this summer

Indiana Tech’s board of trustees have approved the ins­tallation of a new synthetic turf field to replace the natural grass field at Warrior Athletic Field, home of the Warriors’ men’s and women’s soccer and lacrosse programs.

The $1 million project will break ground after commencement in May. The new field will not only benefit the athletic department, but the university community as a whole, including the physical education department, the intramural program and club sports. Construction is expected to be completed early in August before fall sports teams begin their preseason camps.

Warrior Athletic Field was built in 2005. Renderings of the new field and coach comments can be found here indianatechwarriors.com/news/2016/2/17/GEN_0217161727.aspx.
