Baseball Field Construction at Laredo Uni-Trade Stadium

/

Professional baseball arrived in Laredo when the new $20 million Uni-Trade Stadium opened on May 17, 2012 in front of a crowd of 5,923.

Texas Multi-Chem recently completed the baseball field construction at Laredo's new Uni-Trade Stadium, home of the Laredo Lemurs. The Lemurs join the American Association league (part of the Independent Professional Baseball organization) and are managed by former Texas Ranger outfielder Pete Incaviglia.

Designed and built by TMC, the natural grass playing surface is TifSport hybrid bermudagrass. The root zone (topsoil) consists of an 8" layer of USGA sand and Dakota peat (95% sand / 5% peat). The field also contains an internal drainage system to help avoid rain outs. Here is some additional construction info for the playing surface at Uni-Trade Stadium:

Appreciation

We appreciate the opportunity to build the City of Laredo and the Laredo Lemurs a high quality professional level baseball field. We also appreciate working with Leyendecker Construction on another successful project. Mark Schuster, Managing Partner and CEO of the Laredo Lemurs (as well as Managing Partner and COO of Ventura Sports Group, the developer that brings affordable family entertainment to communities all over the nation) helped foster a very professional work environment during this project and offered these kind comments regarding TMC's work:

“Wow, what a field Texas Multi-Chem built at Uni-Trade Stadium!  Steve Caraway [owner TMC] and his team far exceeded our expectations.  Beyond their expertise, they were the easiest and most responsive group I’ve worked with in 23 years of being in the professional sports industry” - Mark Schuster, Managing Partner & CEO - Laredo Lemurs 

Mark, TMC thanks you for your support and the opportunity to partner with you to build Laredo a great baseball field. Being a big part of this exciting time for Laredo professional sports means a great deal to our organization.
