KALAMAZOO, Mich.- The Western Michigan Soccer Complex is currently undergoing a renovation in which the existing surface is being removed and several upgrades are being made through the installation of a new playing field. The project is estimated at $75,000.
Fraze mowing, a process originally developed and perfected on European soccer fields, is being used to remove the top layer of the playing surface to correct issues with the field. The process will improve drainage and balance the playing surface, removing uneven slopes in the field. The surface will also be laser-graded to improve playability in wet weather.
