Check out Episode 3 of Crismon High School drone footage in Queen Creek, Arizona. The classroom buildings are looking complete from the outside, the track has the asphalt base with bleachers and the scoreboard installed, and the softball and baseball infield fines are being placed on the fields. Thanks again to our in-house drone pilot, Jake Ireland for this great progress update.
Highlighting our partners on this project: The Town of Queen Creek and the Queen Creek Unified School District, Orcutt | Winslow and Core Construction. With a tradition of recognizing individuals who have made significant contributions to the irrigation industry, Hunter Industries honors a select group of professionals annually to receive the award. The Trailblazer Award showcases professionals whose innovation, leadership, and forward thinking benefit the irrigation industry.
This year, our own Zach Temple has been honored with this award. Zach was presented with a dramatic wildlife print from photographer Thomas Mangelsen’s “Images of Nature” photo gallery for his hard work and dedication. We're so proud of you Zach! Our Lloyd Sports + Engineering family has grown by one small adorable member. Zach Plum and his wife Sydney welcomed their first baby! We are so excited to celebrate their baby girl, Ava.
Congratulations Zach and Sydney! Construction is progressing for the new BetMGM Sportsbook at State Farm Stadium. Watch this recent drone video.
The Great Lawn has always been the center hub of activity, but next year will be so much bigger. Lloyd is delivering civil engineering, irrigation design, turf consulting, and quality control for the Cardinals new amenity. Stay tuned for more updates as the summer moves along. We're happy to highlight our partners SmithGroup, AECom, and Arizona Cardinals Football Club. The University of Arizona Wildcats are soon to have a fresh new football field! Ten years ago, the Lloyd Sports + Engineering team helped U of A with major stadium upgrades, including a synthetic turf field. We can't believe how time flies!
High performance synthetic turf fields require a regularly scheduled refresh of the top layers of the turf system. With this live cam, we can all watch the turf replacement in real time. Check back every couple days to watch the progress! Why design and build a soccer complex that has multiple sized fields? Let’s start with the O Jogo Bonito Fútbol Club Vision statement:
O Jogo Bonito, “The Beautiful Game!”, is a state of mind, a higher calling. The fullest expression of playing fútbol there is. Where players brim with technical mastery, field vision, confidence and fearlessness, in complete control of both ball and opponent. OJB FC endeavors to become the new standard, immersing its players in an exciting environment in which to learn and thrive, relentless in the pursuit of fútbol perfection. People from around the glove know The Beautiful Game when they see it, binding players and spectators in an emotional experience like no other, passionate and joyful and satisfying. Welcome to O Jogo Bonito State of Mind! This Vision Statement shared with Lloyd Sports + Engineering has been the guiding force when challenging design decisions are being made. As we look at any specific design decision, we are reminded to think about how the design will affect students being able to achieve the O Jogo Bonito State of Mind. To answer the initial question, the smaller fields are designed for students that are about 8 years old or younger. This allows them to master the smaller field and build confidence in their technical skills before moving up to a larger field. Each progression adds to the technical mastery, field vision, fearlessness and confidence in each student, thus moving them closer to the O Jogo Bonito State of Mind!
