The stadium is arguably the best high school stadium in Wisconsin.
SUN PRAIRIE, Wis., January 14, 2021 (Newswire.com) –
Sun Prairie School District has worked with Midwest Sport & Turf Systems in the past. When the baseball field needed improvements to its turf, which had originally been installed by another company, MWSTS was called in. “They stepped up to the plate and helped us when we had turf problems on our baseball field when others weren't helping us with it,” Athletic Director Eric Nye said.
As a result, when Sun Prairie built a new football stadium that can seat more than 4,000 people, has the largest Dakrtonics scoreboard in the state, and will serve two high schools and three different sports (football, soccer and lacrosse), MWSTS was chosen to make the lawn. But the company didn't just put up sod and walk away. “We weren't buying a simple facility. We were buying a partner,” said Sun Prairie Buildings and Grounds Director Kevin Sukow. “We really valued the knowledge and background information. We weren't just buying a system.
Nee said he put MWSTS at the top of the list. “I think what made them stand out is their customer service,” he said, “seeing how much attention to detail they put into each project.” The Sun Prairie project culminated with what Nee calls the premier high school stadium in the state and said it's on par with Division 3 college facilities. “The minute you walk into our stadium, the first thing you think is 'Wow.' , he said. “The turf is part of that reason.” Sun Prairie chose MST ProBlend Turf for the field.
It helps, Sukow said, that MWSTS did the work on its own. “It seems like a lot of other people are outsourcing the installation and they may not be as responsible,” he said. “We were buying from the people who were going to do the installation. The same people who deposit material are the ones who take responsibility for how it looks.”
MWSTS customer service made the endeavor a smooth process. “If you can have something that gives you peace of mind in the world we live in with sports — if that's one less thing I have to worry about — that's awesome,” Nye said. The company's response stands out. “If we have something, he'll be there in a heartbeat,” Nye said. “They're local. They take pride in their work.” MWSTS, Sukow said. “It's not just a field installation. It's not just come back for a year and see if it's OK,” he said. “The whole process is different than what we're used to. It feels like they're not just selling us a product, they're selling us a partner.” Sun Prairie also selected MWSTS to build its new softball diamond in 2021.
