This helps to reduce injuries, and games won't need to be postponed or delayed due to wet conditions on the field. These are only a few of the many benefits of using this type of drainage solution. "Although a number of years have passed since the synthetic field was installed for the St. Louis Rams, companies and organizations can still learn from the experience this team has had. The Hydraway Field Drainage Solutions have worked exactly as intended and the team is pleased with the results. Contact Hydraway to learn how we can be of assistance to you with your drainage needs.

Since flooding was a regular weather occurrence, officials needed to keep the new canals dry enough to be able to capture water so they pumped them continuously to clear them out. However, this proactive measure on caused the city to subside. “As swampy areas were drained, reclaimed land sank; the more the city sank, the more it flooded, and the deeper the canals and more pumping that was needed to keep it dry” (Layzer pg. 534).

In the City of Houston, the interest in the world of sports has grown to tremendous heights over the recent years due to winning teams, new teams and new sports facilities. Among these new facilities is the new reliant stadium, which is home to a fairly new Houston Texans football team since 2002 and Minute Maid park home of the Houston Astros. Not long ago, things were much different. Before Reliant stadium and Minute Maid we had the Astrodome. Instead of the Houston Texans, we had the Houston Oilers. Both very capable football teams in two different arenas.

In 2013, the NFL’s Vikings and the The Minnesota Metropolitan Sports Facilities Authority (MSFA) agreed to construction guidelines for the new Vikings stadium. Replacing the eyesore of the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome, the new stadium called for a modern design with a glass façade that would reflect Minneapolis’s downtown. While the design seemed innocuous to most, ornithologists immediately objected to the plan: large expanses of glass would confuse migrating birds by reflecting the sky. The birds would careen into the stadium, injuring or killing themselves. The Minnesota Audubon Society became a champion for the issue, launching a campaign calling for the stadium to be constructed with less reflective, bird-safe glass. The installation

It has actually earned the title as the oldest NFL stadium and was built using 387 Million of Taxpayers money. It shows how far back this policy dates, all the way back to 1924. Many of the videos and presentations often used into convincing lawmakers do not depict the true image of what their stadium has done for the city but rather what the U.S economy may have done for the city. There is a constant translation that has blinded lawmakers in which they often are much too attracted by the benefits that have occurred that context is often missed about what else is occurring in the United
Turf fields are shaping a better future for sports across the entire nation and the world. Across the country, more and more sports facilities, high school athletic complexes, etc. seem to be switching to synthetic turf fields. Artificial turf fields have become more popular over the course of the 2nd half of the 20th Century till the present day. Since they have become so popular, they have been studied closely to see what the differences are between them and natural grass fields. And in the last few years, these sorts of fields have gained a lot of scrutiny for their un-healthy surface and the cost of installing them. But with any disadvantages comes some advantages.

The resurgence of Temple University’s football program has lead the school wanting a $126 million, 35,000-seat stadium in the heart of North Philadelphia. The surrounding community outcry, skeptical legislators and a summer leadership crisis forced Temple's president, Neil Theobald, to step down. Since Theobald was the driving force behind the stadium, Temple has no clear timeline to bring a proposal to City Hall. The Owls have paid rent since 2003 to play at Lincoln Financial Field, home of the Philadelphia Eagles. To build its own campus stadium, Temple needs legislation passed by City Council. Although a stadium would bring a vibrant buzz to the campus, difficult obstacles stand in the way of North Philadelphia seeing a stadium in their backyard.
A level pool routing experiment was carried out to determine the adequacy of results obtained through simulated flood routing. The experiment yielded experimental results from which calculations of inflow; storage and discharge over a weir were obtained. The Energy Grade line from the tank to the pipe outlet was observed as well as the relationship between the tank discharge to the square root of height. Noted from this was that height was the driving force of flow from the tank.
