O
riginally constructed to accommodate the games, the site
included clay brick pavers, fountains, flag poles, and sports
monuments sitting atop a three-level underground parking
garage. Time and weather, compounded by drainage issues,
began to take its toll on the plaza.
"The condition of the plaza didn't properly pay homage to the athleti-
cism and patriotism displayed in 1987," said Yves LeGoff, Commercial Sales
Specialist for Northfield an Oldcastle Company.
