Spartan Stadium Named Collegiate Football Field of the Year by Sports Turf Managers Association

EAST LANSING, Mich. – Spartan Stadium has been named the top collegiate football field for 2016 by the Sports Turf Managers Association (STMA).

Spartan Stadium becomes just the fourth collegiate football field to earn the distinction of STMA Field of the Year twice since the award was created in 1992; the field was also recognized in 2005.

MSU Sports Turf Manager Amy Fouty and athletic groundskeeper Andy Flynn will accept the award at the annual STMA Conference and Exhibition in January 2017. Fouty became the first woman to receive the award in the collegiate football category in 2005.
