ACCESSING THE ARCHIVES and professional goals I would like to accomplish in my life ,” said Dr . John “ Trey ” Rogers . “ Among them was to grow grass indoors for athletic events .”
Handling high-use areas was the cover story of the July 1993 issue , while the August issue spotlight was on infield maintenance , as well as a preview of the 1993 STMA Conference at Oriole Park at Camden Yard .
The September issue profiled Mile High Stadium in Denver , which at that time not only hosted the Broncos , but also the Rockies , soccer matches , concerts , marching band competitions , tractor pulls , motocross and a visit from the Pope . ‘” We work with a crew of 15 during Colorado Rockies home games and a crew of eight during Broncos games ,” said Tom Lujan of Stadium Turf Managers . ” There can be lots of 15-plus-hour days , and some pretty hectic maneuvering to get everything done .”
October and November 1993 were combined into one issue of SportsTurf . It doesn ’ t appear it was a
special edition of any sort , so it ’ s hard to tell why the change was made , although the magazine would stay
at 11 issues per year until 1997 , when it went back to being monthly .
December 1993 wrapped up with an abbreviated Product Source Book issue . Overall , however , it is
worth noting that 1993 was heavily invested in covering sports-field-management-specific topics ( after years of being golf course management centric ). It seems that by 1993 , the publication was on its way to being a more accurate representation of the industry it covers . SFM
