Campus Recreation strives to improve the experience it provides for all the students at 澳门六合彩官网. 聽Whether it鈥檚 the intramural sports, sport clubs, athletics, or Army ROTC, Geasey Field is a place that is beneficial to students across the university. 聽Since it was installed in 2009, the turf has been benefiting the student body and promoting exercise. 聽It鈥檚 a place where thousands of students get together and enjoy recreation. 聽 Associate Director of Programs, Jay Gallagher, talked to me about the importance of the turf bringing the community together and how it allows students to support each other. 聽鈥淕easey is convenient for students, it鈥檚 close to campus and allows our sport clubs to have a lot a home games.鈥
The turf is used so frequently that it had recently gotten to a point where it needed to be renovated. On July 23rd, 2018 the renovation process of the field was up and running, laying down 145,000 square feet of new AstroTurf synthetic turf. 聽John Doman, the Director of Campus Recreation, was very enthusiastic about the new turf and all that it brings. 聽鈥淭he turf is aesthetically pleasing and safe, it will provide more recreation opportunities for students who don鈥檛 wish to participate in structured programs.鈥 聽He emphasized the sand and rubber infill that will allow the turf to be more multipurpose. 聽 The sand and rubber infill allows the turf to absorb shock better than the old turf did, which is very beneficial for people playing sports on it.
Now that the renovation process is complete all of the activities that take place on Geasey are in full swing. 聽Campus Recreation is excited for students to use the new and improved surface. Check out the Geasey tab on our Campus Recreation website for a weekly schedule on when the field is open for informal recreation. The schedule will be updated every Wednesday by noon. If you鈥檙e in a club you can put in a request to reserve the field through the Facility Request Form, also found on the Campus Recreation website. 聽Geasey is a place where you can go to have fun; you don鈥檛 have to be an athlete or competitive, it brings everyone together to enjoy the simple things in life. 聽Whether you鈥檙e playing in an intramural game, practicing with the Diamond Marching Band, or playing Frisbee with your friends... Geasey is the right place to be!
