North Stadium Field / VIP Parking Lot : Penn State University

Dating back over three decades, Hummer Turf has a long and distinguished association with Penn State University in the design and construction of high use natural grass athletic fields. From as far back as the 1970’s, Hummer Turf has been instrumental in upgrading everything from Beaver Stadium to the award winning Jeffrey Soccer Field.

This was an unusual assignment in that this is actually a grass parking lot North of Beaver Stadium. Sometimes a “mud lot” and later graveled over, the concept here was to develop a grass surface with enough stability to park cars. With soil replacement and the Hummer Sand Grid System with enhanced base drainage, the field was installed in 2005 and from day one has performed beyond many peoples expectations.
