FIELD OF THE YEAR COLLEGE BASEBALL
Level and category of submission : College Baseball Field manager : Scott Blanchette Title : Sports turf manager Education : Masters of Business Administration
Experience : I did not go to school for sports field management . I started my career in low-A Quad Cities as an intern , and eventually as the head groundskeeper . As I wrapped up my master ’ s degree , I knew to grow my career I needed to go somewhere else to learn different techniques , climates , bigger facilities , etc . I moved to Arizona and worked for the Dodgers at their spring training facility , while also working part time at Chase Field . I eventually moved to Triple-A New Orleans . The team left New Orleans , which led me to the University of New Orleans and Maestri Field .
