The astro-turf playing surface, parking lot, locker rooms, toilets and bleachers were either renovated or replaced. Our work included identifying and estimating costs associated with repairs to all the above areas, in addition to electrical problems created by poor cabling and switchgear for the stadium lighting. Vistara helped negotiate a mutually acceptable solution to provide accessibility to disabled patrons and students, with the Mayor's Office for People with Disabilities.
