On the cover:
Weston Appelfeller is director of grounds for the Columbus Crew profes-
sional soccer club, Columbus, OH. Appelfeller wrote in his STMA Field of
the Year application, "This award would provide the staff with an under-
standing that no matter the circumstances they are faced with, they are
the reason this facility is great. It's not about the leadership; it's about the
people who do the work that make athletic fields what they are."
