Kyle Bender ’12 – Hollett Little Giant Field saw a flurry of activity Friday morning as crews poured large truck loads of lime across the playing surface.
The lime is being put down to help dry up moisture that has seeped into the ground as a result of the numerous thunderstorms that have hit Crawfordsville during the month of June.
Dennis Marsh, who is assistant project manager, said the lime will provide another layer of drainage for the field, which will have several additional layers of gravel added next week. Cement drains have been poured on the inside of more than half the track oval.
A new development to the field progress was the addition of electrical wires protruding from the earthy soil. The wires were run underground to several locations on the field, including the site of the new scoreboard located on the southeast corner of the stadium.
