"McCoy Associates
workmanship was of tremendous quality. They showed a high level of
professionalism throughout the process and a great attention to
detail."
"The Lee Jackson Field practice facility complements the Landscape
for Learning endeavor undertaken by the University and moves the
department of athletics closer to our goal of having the top
facilities in the Mid-American Conference."

"It's a great surface
to practice on and even better that it's on-campus as opposed to
practicing at the Rubber Bowl each day. The players love to practice
on it and the field has easy access from our locker rooms in the
field house.
"The close proximity to the Student Union and classroom buildings
gives our students a chance to watch practice and become more
involved with athletics. It's great that they are able to use the
facility as well."
